Wow, for some reason I typed this out the first time I read this thread but didn't post sooo
Well...for starters..I'd like to still be alive :)
And I'd be starting college..
From this very second? Going back to school from winter break? Or deciding what to do during my J-term home. I think I'll stay home on J-Term..first year at college after all :)
And I hope to have had atleast one relationship and to still be caught up with all my current friends..especially the new moving away next summer and however more after that.
And be in a good college of my choice..but to get far away from this state. (My sisters call all the colleges within 200 miles 'sleep away camp' so I can't go to them..even if UW-M is a dream or UW-LC..my other current favorite..and Smith in far far away land..)
Oh and I hope to get this thing where I randomly ramble about myself done with and stop doing it.
And to lose this frikken lisp.
And to just be all around happier. :)
:star: ruby :star:
My apologizes in advance if the above post makes no sense. I do that a lot.

I'll be 20, and successful at my first year of college. I'll be at a school that fits me with a really good band and a good program for whatever I'm interested in at the time (hopefully writing or relations). I'll have a nice, caring, steady boyfriend and lots of friends. I'll be able to manage my ADD and depression, and I won't SI or misuse any drugs.

One can dream. Who knows? Maybe it'll be true.

If we're going with fantasy -- I'd be a world-class instrumentalist and musical therapist on the side that performs in the pit band for Broadway shows and on stage in a quartet and is world famous among instrumentalists. :P

-I will be surrounded by friends, with whom I will find the time to spend together.
-I will be a regular participant in a spiritual community and in a mutual service fellowship.
-I will be able to defend myself in times of need.

to be able to recover from my ED

to be for the most part SI free

doing well in college

studing food science, nutrition, and culinary arts

getting a good job in a career that I love

moving out of the house

maybe getting in a healhty, loving relationship and thinking about starting a family

get off of my medication? (that probably won't happen and if not I'm ok with it)

I'll be 21, so hopefully not become an alcoholic (runs in my family)

Be able to enjoy life more without constant thoughs of SU

I hope for all of these to be true:

- I'll be married. :heart:
- I'll be physically healthy. (both fit and at a healthy weight)
- I'll no longer rely on SI.
- I'll find myself beautiful.
- I'll be financially independent.
- I'd have written at least one book. (Written - not published.. But that would be great, too. :osmile: )
- I'll be happy. :osmile:

In five years I'll be 23. I'll hopefully be done with my undergraduate degree(s) and either working in my field or going to graduate school. I'm sure I'll still be living where I do now, but I'd like to move away as soon as I can.
