How has your life changed in the last 10 years?

10 years ago I was engaged to my ex and we lived in a rental apartment. In the decade that has passed I have finished my studies, broke up with my ex, had a wonderful few years as a single woman, met my now husband, gotten married, bought an apartment and matured quite a lot. I have also fulfilled my childhood dream of going to piano school and learn how to play the piano and learn music theory. Life is pretty good now. Much better than I could ever have imagined 10 years ago.

It’s hard to believe, but my life has barely changed in 10 years. I live in the same apartment, in the same city. Yeah, there were trips, some events, jobs, studying — but in the end it’s all the same! Day after day. Ten years flew by like a single moment. Change your life regularly, create new opportunities, change your job, where you live — otherwise you’ll end up like me

I have an eleven-year-old autistic son. My life over the last ten years has been the most stable that it's ever been, because kids deserve stability. Almost nothing in my life is different from what it was in 2016. If he ever develops the ability to get a job, I'll probably immediately move to Cyprus and start an illegal business where you throw darts at college students.

More: children, mortgages, fat Less: time, joy, hair

“Kids deserve stability” is such a simple line but it says a lot. Also the sudden pivot to Cyprus and an illegal dart empire really took this comment on a beautiful journey.

Lost dear person to me and still think about how them influenced greatly in my life. Finally got a job after being jobless for one year. And today I am editing videos and uploading on youtube as a hobby. I am also sick but can manage it. Thanks for creating this little space :)

Well... In the last 10 years I have transitioned from female to male, only to then detransition back to female. This involved a major surgery and flip flopping my entire endocrine system a couple of times 🙃 I went by multiple names over these 10 years, and came right back to my birth name. I broke up with my high school sweetheart, spent 3 years with someone who was terrible in hindsight, and spent 4 years with the woman I thought I'd marry (she left me last year). So now I've been single for an extended period of time for the first time in my adult life. I have welcomed 5 nieces and nephews into the world and continue to watch them grow and contribute to their lives. I met and adopted my soulcat- she's 8 now. I have loved many other animals in this time- my childhood dog who was my first animal soulmate, my brother's dogs, my gorgeous little cat who passed far too soon, various housemates' cats, my fish etc. I studied multiple things and eventually graduated with my undergrad, then studied postgrad and am about to graduate from that. I had many short lived jobs, and a whole lot of unemployment, and then I finally figured out what I actually want to do. And am now doing that! I've lost loads of friends, and gained them too. I lost my sister. That one was the worst part. I've lived in 7 different houses, only to wind up back at my folks' place, which I initially ran away from. I feel like I've been many different people in the span of 10 years and I've experienced so much, been through so much, and changed so much. Thanks for prompting me to take a moment to reflect. I look forward to the next 10, and would love if they were maybe a little less turbulent! 🤣

Quit drinking 9 years ago, put an addition on the house 8 years ago, started participating in my neighborhood events and made a ton of new friends. It’s been a productive last 10 years. Not possible if I were still drinking.

move to new place and reborn from death and experience real life, before just live in parent's bubble.....and see it all stage in life......at early 30s.... not fun experience, but taught me live in moment in dayily basis, i dont think about future

I'm feeling deeply depressed, with no confidence, drive, or motivation left. For the past decade, every attempt to improve my life has fallen through. I poured years into trying to become independent, to find a good job, and to build the life I wanted. But all that hard work led nowhere. I have no Plan B, so now... I’m just drifting through time and space.

Separated (great) Not yet divorced (bad) Father in terrible health (bad) Lost a ridiculous amount of money(bad) Moved countries a few times (par for the course) Menopause and shitty autoimmune issues(bad) Kid has developed mental health problems (terrible but see some signs of improvement) Despite all that, I got over a severe depression I was just thinking about this recently, and the last ten years have been a disaster for many reasons, there's been a disproportionate amount of c***, but I'm dealing with it, and hopefully, things will continue to improve.

10 years ago I was 25, working a dead end job, renting a shitty apartment, and honestly pretty depressed. Now I'm married, own a home, have a career I actually like. But here's the thing nobody tells you - I still feel like the same person? Like externally everything changed but internally I'm still just... me. Still anxious about the same stuff, still procrastinating, still feeling like I'm pretending to be an adult. Wild how much can change while feeling like nothing really has.

Let me see. Got divorced moved abroad moved back to the uk moved into new house met my current Mrs moved again into another new house then moved again to a different county

I was just thinking about this morning. Ten years ago today, I was in the middle of a vacation celebrating having gotten an offer for what I thought, at the time, was my dream job. I had left my first job out of school some weeks earlier, which felt like a really big deal. I was still living at my parents house, but in June of that year, I'd move out on my own for the first time, not quite an hour away. In the intervening decade: - I got married (in my parents backyard because covid) - Moved many many states away (to be closer to my wife's family and then for her job) - Switched companies (to a much better, lower stress environment) & roles (became a manager) Now, my wife and I have just moved to Spain, something that would have been unthinkable even two years ago, much less ten. Lots has changed.

We moved house hopefully for good. My sons got homes and partners. I’ve retired and I’m fitter now than I ever was. Me and my husband bought a motorhome and regularly get away in it. All in all I’m lucky and happy with my life.

Ten years ago I was working lots of hours along with current wife, getting things replaced that I lost in a divorce, bought a house, working on it. We were going on one month vacation every year. Then I broke my back, worked nine months with it broke then pretty much bed ridden till surgery, and off work 3 weeks shy of 5 years. Lost a son a couple years ago. We are back to fixing up the house and planning trips to start taking in a couple years. And of course retirement. It did get pretty rough between my wife and I and financial obligations and we managed to get through without too much loss and stay together. You would not believe people told my wife that they would not work while I was staying home rebuilding my body. I had 11 surgeries during that time. Plus a few more since. Yes, life can get rough but we must keep looking for something positive in the future.

health declined, all relationships failed, no friend left, became totally alone, in debt, jobless. Looking forward to the next 10 more miserable years

Ruined my existence. It ruined it all.

It had just gotten darker and darker, with my current state of affairs being the worst it has ever been. I started out 10 years ago as a bright, cheerful youngster, but now I’ve turned into a grey, hollow shell of a person.

It changed a lot.

In the last 10 years I finished my schooling and now it's my second year in college..

Relationship, got a degree, became half orphaned, broke up, job hopped, got a decent job, moved out on my own, chased my bucket list, looking for a better job. Been a bittersweet roller-coaster.

Changed my career and dropped out of a PhD program 6 months before my defense My income increased 8 times Moved states twice Got divorced and got married again Adopted a dog
