What do I hope I'll be in 10 years? Finished with school, in a relationship, working a job that makes me feel like I'm contributing to society in a way that I find significant, able to relax in social situations, and most of all, happy.
What do I think I'll be in 10 years? Dunno. We'll see.

an engineer, lover, friend, mother...if all my dreams come true
I will have my Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics, do research as a mathematical physicist and lecture. And since I accepted being a loner quite some time ago, I won't try to find friends, not to mention a girlfriend, and thence will most likely have rejected all offers, should there be any - simply because of the perverted satisfaction I draw out of rejecting people. Hrh. Ah, yes, and I will still be virginal. That's the funnest part. Then I can brag about being very special that way.
Though, ten years can be a long time. It is almost impossible to predict what one's life will be like, unless you assume that nothing in your immediate - or global - environment will change which might significantly influence your life.

In 10 years time I will be coming to the end of my [minimum] Term of Service in the RAF (which is 8 years.) Two years of college will be preceeding that - starting in one week!
That's my plan right now anyway. Plenty of things could make me change my mind, such as a girlfriend/wife who wants us to live together in a certain area, which would be a problem because I'll be needing to live on or near base if I'm in the RAF. I'd be wiling to sacrifice my career plans for the right woman Plenty of other jobs about.

Plenty of other jobs about.In all honesty I really don't know. I may be doing well depending on how current things go, or I may just burn this existence out over the next years and check out on top preferably possibly somewhere in my late 30's. But first I have a few things I want to do. We'll see how it goes.
"...It's better to burn quickly and bright
Than slowly and dull without a fight..."
"...It's better to burn quickly and bright
Than slowly and dull without a fight..."
Sounds familiar. Over the past 5 or so years have dropped my friends one by one. Just a few months ago dropped my very last friend. I knew this f*cker for over 20 years - we grew up together. About 2 years ago I told him I might be going away for a while, but I don't know - I might not be coming back. And as for the girlfriend part and rejecting all offers, you got it dude - story of my life to date and will most likely stay that way as a long-term commitment isn't and never has been for me. Let's go dude (talking to myself) - got stuff I want to do.
This is a weak mentality, in my judgment. No person could ever be important enough for me to drop what I live for. And what would the woman think of a man, who would willingly forgo what he has worked for, what he has planned to build for his life, only to be together with a person with whom the relationship may cease with the decay of the initial infatuation? I would be turned off in an instant, were my romantic partner to utter such a consideration.
Especially because it's immature to assume that you will ever know whether a romantic partner is the right one. The realization of whether someone was 'right' can only be made in retrospect.
I don't think so. It's not just about having a job, it's about liking the job. If you don't like the job, you won't be able to sustain a positive attitude towards it. You are bound to fail in the long run and there simply aren't enough jobs to be able to switch at will.

In ten years I'd like to have a wonderful girlfriend, a wonderful job I love, a wonderful place to live... Hmm, these expectations are too high! According to Lucinda Basset, the author of... I forgot the name, it's a mistake to have so high expectations. If something doesn't happen the way you want, which is very likely when you have high expectations, then you're going to feel depressed. Then I'll change my expectations... to something more likely. So I think in ten years I'd like to be a prince and ride a white horse, and wander all day long in the forest, in the hills, in the fields, and meet a lot of princesses with long blond hair, and kill lots of dragons. There ya go, that's more reasonable.
Nah, kidding. That's what I would LIKE to be. But what I think I'll be... I think in ten years I'll probably be asking "spare some change?" on some dirty street.
