Let's pretend for a moment that we can control how our lives turn out completely. Me? I want to be engaged in the next two or three years, be married by the time I'm 25 (I'm 20 now) and have my first book published, start having kids at 27, and have all the additions to my family by the time I'm 30. That's including the two children and cats that my boyfriend and I want to have. As well as a decent apartment or house with two or three bedrooms, and a reliable car.
Oh, that's a difficult one to answer. I'm 17 right now [almost 18] so in ten years I'll be about 27-28. What does one have in their life at that point? The things that immediately come to mind: - a serious, loving relationship (being married or not, either is fine) - my own place (whether apartment, house, anything) - to know what I want to do for a career and to have started in said career - to see my older sister in a happy relationship (does that count?) - have published a book as well I'm kind of at the point where I'm still figuring things out, but those (^) are the things that I thought about when I read your question.
True..in the late teens to early 20s it's very stressful trying to find yourself and what you want out of life. It's almost like a crossroads, with many many roads, only you sometimes don't get to choose where you end up.
That sounds about right to me *nods* But I'm working on figuring out exactly what I want so that I can find a way to go for whatever it turns out to be
stable job and to start a family. i'm 25 - so i'd like a kid by 35 don't want to be one of those granddad dads.
I'll be 30, and want to have taught in a developing country or community, taught English at a highschool, travelled around a few places, have kept my really good friends, and learned not to drink to the extent that I do.. Would love to own a Kombi (and have manual license), learned to surf, become more healthy, and a full vegetarian. As far as family goes, a serious relationship would be nice, but I wasn't "planning" on having kids before 30. If I do have kids within 10 years then great, but it's not in the controlled plan of me life.
-making enough money writing to support myself. -I would like a place to hang my hat. I've spent my 20s rambling from place to place, dealing with roommate bullshit, and I haven't felt that home feeling since I was in high school living with my mom. I want a place that is mine completely and is my sanctuary at the end of the day. -I also would like to travel, travel, travel. -around 35 I want to either adopt a kid or start fostering (only if I am completely financially stable). I used to want my own baby, but I really have no desire anymore to bring a kid into an overpopulated and fucked up world when i can provide shelter and love for someone who was brought into the world by people who were not able to do so. -don't really care that much about a man, I am fine being independent and alone, I'm just not one of those people that feels lonely when i'm not in a relationship. But i still have to say, I wouldn't mind if I shared my home with someone I'm crazy about.
to still be alive, breathing, in no pain, and still able to think as clearly as i ever have been, would be kind of nice.
I'll be 34 I want to have had a child or two I want to have developed a decent career as a teacher I want to be living in France I want to have maintained a loving marriage I want to have friends and family around I want to have travelled a lot more I want us to have our own house I want a cat I want to have become a lot stronger I want to have calmed down more And I want to have picked up more skills, like improved writing, playing guitar, playing the accordion and a new language.
lets see here. i'll be 65 in 2021. the death clock says i'll live to be 117 years old. i'm quite sure the death clock is wrong on that count.:sad: in ten years, i would be overjoyed, if i can still get my dick to stand tall when i want him to.:biggrinjester: seriously though, there is only 2 things i want. for myself, i want peace of mind. for others, i don't want to ever do anything to hurt anyone. easy things to ask for. hard as all hell to achive though.
