Life. Future. Everything.

The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want. ~Ben Stein

What do I wish for my life? What do I want? What are my goals? My dreams? I'm not one to plan out my entire life and stick to that plan until it happens. To many variables happen each day. Take a breath and let things happen as they do. That mindset doesn't mean I don't have an idea of what i want to do, what I want to achieve in life.

I want to graduate college with some kind of degree. To show that I can do this and I accomplished something. I don't know what kind of career I should go into, because I know what I want to do someday. I want to be a Mom. Marry the man I love and have children with him. Some women would condone me for that, some members of my family as well, but this is what I want. To stay home with my children, to be there for them when I need them. To have dinner on the table when they and my husband come home from school and work. I love children, I would take care of some children all day and night if I could. This is what I want to do.

Now don't be thinking that means I'm eager to get hitched and start makin' babies. Ah hell no! I ain't ready for that yet. I still have a life to live before I'm ready to settle down completely. I want to travel, see the world. There is so much out there that I want to see. I want to go to:

  • Egypt
  • Switzerland (again)
  • Ireland
  • England (again)
  • France (again)
  • Japan
  • India
  • China
  • Germany (again)
  • Italy (again)
  • Australia
  • Austria (again)
  • Russia
  • Greece
  • Spain
I just want to go all over! See the world, see the things you may only see in pictures. I want to live my life as I see fit, and not in the shadow of another.

In the end, I want my life. I have my dreams, my hopes and wishes. As long as I have those, and remember them, I'll live my life to the fullest.

I think you are one of the lucky ones that knows who they really are and what they really want in life.I believe you have to follow your passion in life no matter what it is. I know a person who dropped out from Berkeley to become a wife and a mom and she is absolutely one of the happiest people I know of. Good luck with your life and ask God for help always dear:)
