What are some of your biggest dreams?

[ting1984]

I'm 35 and have already married and worked for awhile; now I'm a stay-at-home wife. My future plans include finally having and raising a child, likely sometime next year (husband and I originally planned to have one late this year, but Covid-19 pushed the timing on that for a bit).

I'd also like to continue to grow and mature. I don't really miss my younger adult years, as some do; I think I've learned a lot and have gotten better at managing frustration and failure than I did when I was younger. I've learned that not everything will go as it was originally planned. Dreams don't always pan out, and I need to deal with reality as it comes and figure out how to adjust life accordingly.

Other than the obviously huge project of having and raising a child, and gaining further maturity, I'd also like to get better at interpersonal skills beyond that of my family. I was slowly starting to do more at church before services and activities had to be streamlined or removed because of Covid. I don't really socialize directly outside of my husband. I had a close female friend in college, but she moved to South Korea, so it's been awhile. I don't keep up with anyone else I knew in college or previously from work. It seems church would be the best place for any future, meaningful friendships. I am admittedly hard to understand and so I tend to shy away from others, and vice versa. Perhaps someday my unusual experiences and views of life will not always be such a hindrance in forming and maintaining close friendships.

to be quite real with you, i tend to not think about my future much; i genuinely thought i’d be dead by now so the reality that i’m very likely to actually have some sort of future is just,,, mind boggling lmao. that being said, some of my main goals are kinda:

1) graduate high school - i’ll be a year or two late but i suppose actually doing it is all that matters

2) move out of my parents home - we’re a long way from being able to do this but i’m hoping maybe in the next 5 years?

3) get a job - i’ve never really had a real job before due to medical conditions and so i’m hoping once this pandemic is over and i can get my life situated a bit again, i can start looking for work

4 - heal mentally. i have a lot of trauma and issues to work through and i’m nowhere near being cured but i’ve been taking my meds consistently for almost a year now which is the most effort i’ve put into my healing so it’s a start ;u;

I'm not a big dreamer but do have an idea of what I want in the future

1. Restart my career that's been on hold because of the pandemic.
2. Reunite with my significant other.
3. Have children in the future depending on how the world changes. I love children but I'm not sure I want to bring one into this world at the moment.
4. Retire debt free and own a small accomodation business with a small cafe that I can continue to put my experience in use as well as pursue my passion of making good espressos in the future.
5. If I don't have children, to rescue or adopt a chinchilla. They can live up to 25 years, sorta like raising a kid

I don't really have very concrete plans for the future atm but I guess continue working hard in my current job, save money and be nice to everyone around me!

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

My dream is to buy cute art from amazing artists, visit Japan + The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando, + help people when I can.

 

[kusariyaro]

to own a house and not having to pay rent anymore lol i also want to get a long term relationship and even get married

 

[xSuperMario64x]

my dream is to be able to openly/unashamedly tell people that I'm autistic and have them be like "oh okay cool" and ask what kinds of accommodations I need without it being a big deal, and without them resorting to treating me like a child. we're on the path but with groups like A$ still being very prominent in US society weve got a ways to go.

My goal in life is just to be happy. I like to ask myself “If failure wasn’t an option, what would you be doing with your life?” My response is usually what I end up doing. Life is too short.

 

[ChocoPie22]

I want to become a detective, possibly even a lieutenant, just climb the ladder to the very top. I also want to live in a cottage on the outskirts of the woods. I want horses in the future, and have a stable on my property. I want a daughter one day, and I would like to foster teenagers.

 

[.: Meri :.]

Mainly, I'd just like to live happily, quietly, and comfortably, where I can spend time with people I like and pursue my hobbies and interests. I'd love to find a person or persons that I'd want to share my life with, and get a nice house in a place that's neither too rural nor too urban. Career-wise, I'd like to make a nice, stable living from my art and writing; and maybe make some reasonably successful games as well.

Right now I’m really wanting to purchase my first home. I’m negotiating right now on a duplex which is my ultimate goal. I would like to live comfortably on my side and Airbnb the other side to pay for my mortgage. I’ve been accumulating furniture and making plans these last two months and now I’m just waiting for the closing day.

To bring happiness and smiles to everyone. I want to help people find what makes them happy everyday

Honestly, my big dreams as of right now are solely focused on future careers (and one teeny little exception)

1.) Get a degree in Sociology and Criminology: I've always wanted to be in the crime investigation field. Since I was a kid, crime investigation has always piqued my interest. What I truly want to be is a detective. Solving crimes and mysteries is a huge passion of mine.

2.) Voice a FNAF Animatronic: I have no idea why, but one day I thought, "Y'know, voicing a FNAF animatronic would be so cool." Since then, I've been determined to do it one day. It most likely will never happen, but it doesn't hurt to dream.

3.) To meet and marry Charlie Puth: I can't express how much I love this man. Since I was maybe 12, I've always just swooned at the sight of him. I know it'll never happen in real life, but if it did, my life would be 10x better.

1. Publish some self-help books and just books about topics that I am passionate about and feel society could be more knowledgeable about. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Self-shipping, ASD, ADHD, mental health, and the problems with our school system.

2. This one is a two-way street, but if my mom also puts in the effort, I would love to improve my relationship with her. Still even now, she is slightly ignorant about my social impairment. I wouldn't say we have a bad relationship, per se. Hell, we have had a lot of wonderful moments. However, she would often be very rude, insensitive, ignorant, overdramatic, and just other negative adjustives when it came to various situations and things.

A part of it is possibly due to her lack of knowledge about ASD (which I am somewhere on the spectrum), and another part of it is probably due to something very sensitive and personal, which I will not be mentioning. With that being said, I want to do everything I can on my part to make things better. I cannot erase the issues that we have had in the past. However, if/once she gets a place closer to where me, my dad, and, my brother live - I will be spending a lot of time, possibly even a few years, talking her through a lot of things. I won't be bring up past mistakes she made, as that will just open old wounds for both of us, but I WILL be essentially helping her understand me more, and giving her advice on how to make things better on her part.

The last time her and I texted, we actually had a pretty good conversation. She told me she would love for me to spend the night at her place once she lives closer to us. Of course (and I told her this too), for this to happen, she would have to get a house with at least two rooms (I need my own space). Thankfully, she was understanding (at least through her words) Ideally, I would love for her future house to have three bedrooms, in case my brother and I have to spend the night at the same time. I have already discussed it with my mom, but I am hoping my dad is fine with my brother and I spending the night separately, if it comes down to it. My dad is known to be a bit insensitive to my need of my own space when I am staying away from home, but I do hope he doesn't make us both spend the night at my mother's future place if there is only two rooms. I am also going to be setting some boundaries for if I do spend the night, one of them being to not barge in on me, especially when I haven't been out of the room on any given day, since I could still be sleeping or just want time on my own to get up and around. She did do this to me when we stayed at my maternal grandparents' (thus, her parents) house in Houston back in August 2022, and I want her to know that doing that is a bit...intrusive.

As much as I love my dad and my brother, I do need a break from their chaos and our conflicting opinions on things (the main one being dogs), so if anything, I think it could do me some good to spend the night at my mom's future place on a reasonable basis. I will still be spending the majority of my time here with my dad and my brother, but spending a reasonable portion of the nights at my mom's future place actually does sound nice if she has worked/ is working on improving herself.

Unfortunately, this will probably be at the cost of my maternal grandparents (because, ya know, inheritance) -- I have so many good memories of seeing them in Houston and Columbus - I do not want to have to lose them for all this, but it is what it is, I guess. ;.;

3. This will not happen for quite a while, but as you guys may already know, I would love to get my own place one of these days. Again, I love my dad and my brother, but I clash with them so severely at times, it can take a toll. I can do what I want, whenever I want to do it, and - not to sound selfish here but - I will no longer have to be forced to deal with other people's problems (e.g. I am mainly referring to my paternal grandparents' dog).

Once I am at my own place, I plan to do more with my life. I feel like things are a bit dull and boring at times. My probable-ADHD-having ass like to keep myself busy and on-the-go (minus going on vacations). I doubt I will still want to spend the night at my mother's future house if/when I do get my own place, but as long as I am still living with my dad (and my brother until he moves out), and she causes no issues, I will be 100% on board.

Again, I love my dad and my brother, but I do get tired of dealing with certain things at time, and I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual. Once I am living on my own, feel like things between us will not be so tense at times. I am also hoping they become more knowledgeable and considerate when it comes to my ASD as time goes on too.

. . .

Okay, #2 ran on for WAAAY longer then I intended, but things have been/are a bit hectic with my mom right now.

I have two main dreams. First I want to open a doll and music box museum that would house and display my large collections. I’d have info cards describing each item and the name of the song if I know what it is and have a playable recording of the song. My second dream is to be a full time drag queen and to be on RuPaul’s Drag Race. I want to at least make it to the Snatch Game and win the challenge by impersonating Yoko Ono and show everyone why they are wrong about her and thinking she isn’t creative or talented.
