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

[Just Pomegranates]

In 5 years I'll be 28 and have finished my Bachelor of Arts degree and be working on (or nearly finished) my Fine Art degree
I will hopefully have 5 more tattoos if I continue to get a new one every year
Have visited my best friend in England
Have finished writing my first book
Be in a long term relationship
Be living in my own place/away from my parents' home

I like this idea. Although thinking about the future terrifies me, maybe it's not that hard to see my life five years from now.

My life in 5 years:
I have just finished my degree in hispanic language and literature, I'm just finishing my thesis.
I have a job at the newspaper and I plan on publishing a poestry/short stories book.
I'm perfectly fine with my emotions and feelings and myself in general. I can talk about it with people.
I'm saving money to move to Mexico city to start my master degree.
I haven't SI in five years.
I've swum with whales!

Me in 5 years:

- Haven't SI'd for five years.
- Running my own business making dolls/doll clothes/accessories.
- Getting a new doll for each anniversary (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc.).
- Going to doll meets and other social events.
- Sober for 6-1/2 years and active in AA events.
- At a healthy weight, active, eating healthy.
- Writing and recording music.
- Have a good relationship with my family, including my little brother.
- Turning 30.

A little late coming back to this as I haven't been on BUS for 2 years!

So;
I finished an OK thesis - I wouldn't call it brilliant
I got a couple of papers out of it, one in a well respected international journal.
Decided on industry rather than academia and have a job, my own flat and have moved abroad.

At 5 years I think I just about had a boyfriend, I now have a fiancé

Mental health is not perfect but stable and I have a better range of strategies and am better at catching things earlier - ADs work, I should have tried them 10 years earlier.

So next 5 years;
Living in another country
Married with child(ren)
Still enjoying my job, hopefully a job grade up

In 5 years I hope to be

Celebrating my 6 year wedding anniversary
Enjoying having a toddler (maybe two)
Have my MSW and a Master's level position at the agency I'm at now
A proficient skydiver
Living truly mindfully

My hopes for myself in 5 years.....

To be living on my own
To have a job that I enjoy and that helps others
To have my AA in Psychology
To be effectively managing my symptoms
To be happy.
