I hope to make friends and connect with someone intimately.I hope to be writing and doing art.I hope to have an active social life.I hope to have my niece visit me often still.

I fear my mother may die and I will lose her and have to live without her.I fear that I will have my welfare cut and be unable to support myself.

I want to achieve a method of earning myself a living despite my many health issues.I want to become the best version of myself ,be strong,creative,powerful and successful and unafraid of my own power and success.I hope to have completed an online distance creative writing course.I hope to be a writer for magazines and to write books that will get published.

I’m hoping based on my expirence and the fact I’m only looking for part time work and 20 hours a week, I can easily find a second job. I would like to find some job training for people with autism. So I can work on my social skills and get another type of job besides retail.

I do fear my mom might die. I’m worried about gaining weight.

In the next 5 years I want to have at least 5 grand in the savings, possibly have my own apartment, be making $400-$500 a week and have a large dog. Possibly a Newfoundland. I also want to learn the bus system in my area.

The dog and the 5 grand will probably happen. I’m worried about having enough money to move out. Where I live even a small apartment is problematic even with a full time job.

I hope that my transition goes smoothly. I hope that I find a way to sustain myself.

I fear that... I won't be accepted for who I am. I fear that I won't find stability.


In the next five years, I want to get my own type of transport, and / or learn how to drive. I want to start making some kind of consistent income. I want to start saving up for top surgery.

I'll be 40 in 5 years. I want to have a career where I'm making a comfortable amt. of money. I want to have taken steps to overcome my own career-unsureness, and ambivalence. Maybe I will take more vacations and maybe even move to another state. I want to keep doing healthy things and focusing on my own wellness. Maybe I will have learned something new, or mastered something like a language, a musical instrument, or fiber arts of the knitting and embroidery variety.

I know it was asked, but I'm opting out of talking about my fears at this time. I don't feel I need to or want to, though I do have them.

Man, I’m hoping that I’ll be done with dying in the next five months!!!

I’ve no hopes or fears
For the next five years

My major life goal is to be able to retire within the next two years. I reach full retirement age in 2020, but can go on Medicare in 2019.

My hope is to be able to hang on until I can retire. I have fibro and chronic fatigue. Both are kicking my butt. Every day is an experience of pain and overwhelming exhaustion. Ain't no way to live.

My fear is what's going to happen to me physically as I continue to age. As you might guess from my comments about retirement/Medicare I are an old fart. I'm not at death's door, but it's approaching. I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid of my body breaking down and more pain before death gets here.

Before anyone gets upset, I'm not thinking of killing myself. I'm not wanting to die, I'm just accepting that it's coming eventually.

I don’t have major plans. Hopefully my husband and I are still healthy and remain employed in the same capacities.

Some hopes are for my daughter to get married again (she is a widow) and hopefully have children as she didn’t have time to have kids with her late husband. But I realize it might not happen. But I think I am ready for grandkids.

As about fears my mom is battling cancer and I am dreading her dying which likely will happen within these next 5 years

The big goal is moving to another town, ideally on an acreage. A lifestyle overhaul basically. Less people. Less stress

I want to:

1. lose 60 lbs. And not gain it back.

2. get one investment property and achieve my dream of becoming a successful real estate investor.

3. Not go insane at my job.

[seeker33]

Absolutely no idea. My main goal in life is avoiding stress, so I hope whatever happens, I won't be very stressed.
I want to lose 25-30kg.

Well...the only trouble with questions like these is that I have made many such plans over the years..over and over again...and they get thwarted. So sadly....I am of the mindset now that I just live for the day and not think about the next one. If anything CAN happen to mess up your plans, it WILL.

[Row Jimmy]

It's funny, I was hiking a mountain today and I was thinking about the same thing. I have three goals -

1. Live a healthier lifestyle
2. Connect in a more meaningful way to my faith (Catholic)
3. Clear my head from the static

[WishfulThinker66]

My goals? That I remain employed. That I am able to resume kayaking. That i will do more travelling. And of course that I will be mentally stable and free of anxiety.

Be at a job with growth, have a rental property, be my kids and husband's best friend. Working on my phd
