5 years ago i was 17, performed my 5th umrah, moved to canada, got my driver liscence, highschool where i had both good an bad memorable experiences, missed my friends from mideast terribly, made a best friend, wanted to do medicine. life was simpler then.
now i am half way through my university studies, having a great time, made some new friends, doesnt miss mid east any more, changed my mind about medicine, parents are on my case for marriage. trying to be regular in my prayers.
5 years from now i'll probably be married, and have kids or kid, persuing my masters or be done with it ( in that case working), travell a bit more and visit saudi for Hajj Inshallah. :)

mashallah ur so lucky!!!!!!!!!!! umra 5 times that is great!
5 years ago I was a naive 19 year old, finished my A levels and preparing for uni. Had just passed my driving test too so was always spending weekends dragging my dad around showrooms hoping that he'd eventually give in (he never did)
Fast forward five years...........
Now I'm married, living and working in a fantastic country with my gorgeous husband and 3 month old baby. Lifes good, touch wood.

Khansahib, you don’t need to worry about your future or stuff. You being here in New York is an accomplishment much larger than anything you will ever do in your life. Consider your past and future purified by the virtue of just being here. Don’t do jack in your studies, and party as hard as you can. Future is almost here. And it is prosperous and sweet.

wow never looked at it that way... thanxx NYAhmadi.... it feels better now :D
For me:
Five yrs ago I was a 14 yr old TEENAGER WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL TORTURING TO KEEP ME BUSY ALL THE TIME. SO I HAD NO SPARE TIME TO DREAM ABOUT THINGS.
WHAT DID I ACCOMPALISH? MY DAD'S WRATH FOR NO REASON ONLY BECAUSE HE HATED MY MAM AND US KIDS AND I WOULDN'T LET HIM HURT MY MAM SO I TOOK THE BEATINGS INSTEAD...
NOTHING WENT WRITE FOR ME SINCE I WAS 8 YRS OLD AND NOW THINGS ARE WORSE, THE ONLY DIFERENCE IS I AM A MUCH STRONGER PILLAR OF MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER AND WILL REMAIN TILL THE REST OF LIFE......
ALLAH BLESS MY MAM AND GIVE HER ALL THE HAPPINESS WHICH HAVE BEEN SNATCHED AWAY FROM HER, INCLUDING MINE.
18 years old and desperately trying to get the grades to get into Bham uni, even tho I'd spent last two years getting as high as hell and skipping all my classes. 5 years on I'm counselling drug addicts and desperately trying to get out of Bham uni.
The title of this thread reminded me of my one-time favorite Phil Collins song. :love:
5 years ago, starting in a new direction of my career. Had a lot of fun.
5 years later, mastered that, dumped it, moved on to a new line. Still having a lot of fun.
Life goes on.
im only 17 yrs old:) i bet it was obvious…my immature replies:halo: 5 years ago:

Aww, I saw someone browsing through this thread in who's online. Never seen it before. We have so many interesting people here. It's so cool. Even JJ posts on GS, who would've thought, eh?
Five years ago, I had just joined GS. You can actually observe my pattern of growth right on these forums. laughs
Five years ago, I was still a teen and often thought life couldn't get any worse; today, I know there is always a new low that can beat any low! But now I have so much more patience and I think I am much calmer.
Five years ago I had my life planned out to every nitty gritty detail, that's all out the window now and I have never felt this lost. And it feels great!
Five years back from now I moved here from Pakistan. All chillin' and having fun with some new Paki neighbours. Also getting ready for my new school and studies. At that time, all I had in my brain was that how will I adjust in this place and how will I get along with goray people and will I be successful in making good friends? I never found any answers to these questions back than. I did find some good friends though, but not the kind who'd keep in touch with after high school. I rather got even more far away from them.
Until last year I found myself still not totally adjusted here. But now, I'm in a condition that my isolation has made me say "no" when it comes to moving back to Pakistan (since my parents are thinking about it). Not that I don't like that place, but because I don't want to be surrounded by so many people who know me. Here, life is different, people'd leave you alone if you want to be alone.
I never thought about my future that much. So it's even hard for me to predict where I see myself five years from now.
Are you there?
Did any of those so called dreams come true?
What about you?

now 28 ... .......
now Five years Later.....
I learnt that what ever you dream you can't achieve them all, there is always something .. you can't get your hands on... so am just chilling and not dreaming for much .... just hoping as the future is here, now, and the past is full of actual deeds, real history. Utopias hardly have the meat on their bones to sustain a people in grave times.
5 years ago......i was nothing, now as i look back in the rearview i am seeing nothing but my dreams coming true! :p Couldn't due much career wise as i planned, due to some serious problems in life...but anyhow, i had nutting 5 years ago, now i got a car, and my own house and pursuing a different career ;)
In the next 5 years, if i am still alive(hopefuly) then i guess, ill be done my studies, probably be married with 1 kid for sure :D ....i did the planning ...lets see if my plans execute,cuz allah knows what lies ahead of me.
