Your life in 5 years......?

[EssTee191]

In 5 years hopefully I will be attending a drama academy and performing on stage. Hopefully I will be free of S.I and I can enjoy the years I have. I hope to be living in a nice flat with friends and have a job to keep me busy. even though it's hard now eventually it does get better... That's what I think and shall live by. xx

[cariad]

in 5 years ill be 28. by then i hope to be planning my wedding, have my MA, have a career path and maybe considering a future
at the moment C & i have planned to get engaged in the next year and married in the next 7 so it will be exciting to see where things are in 5.
one small part of my head sort of hopes i still have my ED then...but then that is probably just a reflection of my thinking atm.

[Beasty]

In five years, hopefully I will be well into my PhD program and two years away from earning my doctorate. I hope I will be healed, will have a significant other that I love in my life.

[breathing]

In five years, I'll be going for a master's degree. I hope that I will be able to have an internship, at least.

[fell_on_black_days]

My book, finally published.
A good run of gigs with some acting gigs thrown in with perhaps a healthy PT career in the meantime.
That'd be nice I reckon.

Hmm. Five years from now I'll be 22, almost 23. I'd like to:

-have finished my BA Photography with an emphasis on using art to heal trauma/mental health (with a further emphasis on SA)
-have my own place full of books and cameras and cats
-still be in contact with Steve, Daryl & Dan
-be writing a book or in the process of publishing.
-working towards an MA (either in art therapy or museum studies/curating)
-be happy

-I'll have been five years SI free

[Peege]

in five years, i may be 28.
i will have found some dreams to hold on to.
and maybe someone to hold on to me.

Well, I was 28! Now I'm a week and a bit from 30!

When I was 28 I had very different dreams to those I expected.
I was planning a wedding, our daughter was heading for 1

In five years... 35.

I hope I'll be content.
In a job I love, am good at, I get something out of and I am successful in. Something that matters.
I will still own a house, maybe not this one anymore.
My husband and I will get on better, we will relax and just be living our lives, instead of feeling like it's us against the world.
The kids will drive us crazy and melt our hearts.
It won't be anything outrageous or flamboyant but it will be comfortable.
And we will be happy.

[pretty]

I will have published something.
I will have my masters and be in a job I love, or doing a phd.
I will be living somewhere nicer.
I will have a cat.
My partner will still be an important part of my life.
I will have more, and closer, friends.
I will be thinking seriously about children.
My family will be healthy. (That one is a hope, but not something I have any control over.)

I wrote that six years ago. Wow. So:
I haven't published anything.
I don't have my masters, but I do like my job a lot more.
I live somewhere nicer.
I have a cat.
My partner is no longer part of my life.
I've got more awesome friends than I could have hoped.
I am planning to have children at some point in the next five years.
My family are healthy (though some have died in the past five years, so that doesn't really count).

Not too bad, considering everything that's happened in the past six years. In another five I hope:
I will actually have published something.
I will have children.
I will have someone in my life who is honest and loves and supports me.
My family will still be healthy.
I will still have wonderful friends.

[capricorn]

I will be 26 [!] and hopefully I will have my PhD, or at least be working towards it.
I hope I'll be working in a good lab, earning my own money & financially independent from my parents.
Hopefully I will have my migraines under control, my back pain under control, mental health stuff not too bad. And hopefully I'll be in touch with my awesome friends, and will have made some new ones.
