Where are you going / where have you been ?

Where are you going?

The place I'm going right now is not a place. Actually, the place I'm going now is not even close. Right now I'm planning to become a successful language teacher. So, the place I'm going right now doesn't represent a place. It is more like an aim or a purpose.

I take the question “where are you going?” as a poor, easy and instant translation of the Spanish version “hacia donde vas en tu vida?”. This question can be taken as what are your plans for the future. That's why when somebody ask me where am I going to, the only answers that comes into my head is: “I'm halfway to become a great language teacher”.

Where have you been?

I have been in so many places in my short life. I've been in farm, houses, jungles. I've been in journeys and excursions. I have met nice places, museums, parks, mountains; and in all those places I have always felt something special and I 've always reacted in a different way. Some of them touched me. Some of them pleased me, but others made me fell uncomfortable. Indeed, some of those places scare me to the hell. However, what makes you think of this question is that someday, when you became older and you can barely talk, all those memories will have vanished and you can no longer remember where have you been. Those special feelings you have experienced will lost in your mind.

...Is really hard when you can't have a flashback, isn't it?
