Something to look forward to?

So here I am, with another attempt at making a successful thread. Woe is me and my lack of interesting things to say. Anyways, I came to the realization just today, that I don't really have much to look forward to; except for my first semester of college ending. Even then, I'll just be stuck in my house and my depression will probably sky-rocket. Anyways, this thread is to just state something that you have to look forward to. Anything, from small to big just let it out.

Passing away peacfully in my sleep, sometime in my 80's. Then for the first time in my life, not having to worry......:)

I look forward to this too, only much earlier than my 80's. IDK...I guess I just love the phrase "rest in peace". It sounds nice, soft, welcoming. It says "You've worked hard. Take a load off. Lie down. Enjoy the quiet. You deserve it!" Of course, I don't tell people this IRL because they'd probably think I'm a suicidal lunatic, although I'd like to think I'm not either of those things. Until then, I'll have to satisfy myself with smaller things to anticipate - days spent with my bf and my dad, the weekend approaching, finally finishing a big homework assignment, etc.

You're not a suicidal lunatic. You're an emotionally special person with a desire for the cessation of their own biological metabolism.

Being with my friends... having some real human interaction... getting a life... I don't really know.

I don't know either. I don't really think too far into the future. Maybe it's part of my problem. I tend to just take things as they come, rather then plan on anything ahead of time. Recently I have begun to change that. I am thinking more and more about the future and I'm trying to put plans into place.

Nothing major really, it nearly completely demotivates me having nothing to look forward to. I guess I look forward to one day having a really good friend, however, since that day is unbeknown to me, it's not really considered.

I'm looking forward to going to the movie theatre tomorrow to watch New Moon, eat terribly unhealthy popcorn and drink a blue raspberry slushie.
I'm looking forward to having a warm shower tonight because I've been so cold all day.
I'm looking forward to going to sleep tonight and hopefully having some nice dreams.
I'm looking forward to going to a musical with my mom and grandma on Dec. 22.
I'm looking forward to walking around the mall which is now covered in glittery Christmas decorations and a 'picture with Santa' station set up.
I'm looking forward to the snow that will be arriving in a couple weeks. Hopefully bringing a white Christmas!

I like to look forward to the little things in life. Gotta start small! :)

Death. Hahah! No no, not yet anyway, though at times I wish it were so. To be frank, I know not the reason of why I am currently alive. I suppose I cannot stand violating my morals though, so that is one reason. I also have a lifelong promise to keep and I shall not break it.

Of course, I'm looking forward to overcoming OCD and panic disorder, but eh, I don't see that happening anytime soon. If at all.

I'm looking forward to Christmas, despite the fact that I'm stressing for money and time and stuff.

I've been having sinus issues lately. Not sure why or what's going on. I feel sinus pressure all around my face/head...and I'll occasionally feel somewhat lightheaded. It sucks and I'm constantly worrying about it. I assume the worst things will happen. Maybe it's a brain tumor or something. So, even though I'm looking forward to Christmas because I love that time of year, I start thinking that I'll die and won't make it to the end of December. Or maybe I will make it, but I'll be miserable and not feeling good and it will just ruin the whole season. Ah well.

I am looking forward to actually getting help for my SAD. I e-mailed a place over the weekend and got a reply last night! I e-mailed back this morning, so hopefully I'll be able to meet with someone soon!

I am looking forward to Silent Weekend in March. Three days of no one being allowed to speak. American Sign Language only. It's the only time I can be around a large group of people and not want to go hide and cry. The Deaf Community here is great and I love them all.

I am looking forward to working Monday and Wednesday of next week. (even though technically I am not supposed to be working, but they haven't taken me off the list yet, so I still get called in to work... Yay money!)

I am looking forward to getting a package in the mail soon, even though it's not for me. I ordered a Christmas present for my cousin. (I just like being able to check the mail and not have everything be either for my dad or junk mail)

I am looking forward to eating food in December when I visit my grandma for Christmas. I live alone with my dad and neither of us really cooks. My grandma makes a homemade dinner every night!

Thats a good way of looking at things. I think I look for "big" things too much, at the expense of the small.

Back in the days when I was pushing myself to the limits and going mad from it, I looked forward to eating a sweet at the end of the day. Keeps me going... funny how the smallest of things can mean a lot if your sky is gray.
