It's a fair question.
"How did I get here?"
It's a question of personal history, I suppose, along with our own personal stories and mythologies that we tell ourselves on a daily basis.
(I've been asking this question of myself quite a bit of late, as a friend of mine has found her life in some current disarray. Inevitably, it's lead to some self review.)
I like where I'm at right now, though it's taken a road that is three times as long as necessary. But I suppose that road makes up more of who I am than this "current" destination, huh?
It's an easy one to forget, especially if one spends a lot of time and energy on a specific future-based target, like I often do.
The simple answer to "how did I get here?" is this: Guidance of my friends and family, combined with some choices that had more impact that I'd imagined. (And some choices with less impact as well.)
How did you get here?
(And don't say "google.")
