@amiablePeace77 Oh gosh. I hope that I will have 1 or 2 people in my life to talk with. I want to feel at peace and balanced.
@PiecesOfWhoeverIWas
It's nice to have someone to go to for comfort or just to chat and to find inner peace. Mindfulness helped me to be at peace and at ease, even if not 100 % all the time, but more and more often. I hope this will come true for you soon.
@amiablePeace77 Thank you!
@amiablePeace77
Good health 🩷
Happiness.
Just an inner peace that only I can give myself.
For my faith to flourish.
For me to be still making great memories with my family 💙
@amiablePeace77
I don't know. I want to be comfortable in life.
@purpleTree4652
Feeling comfortable in life is most important even if it's not 100 % all the time!
@amiablePeace77 When you imagine your future, what do you hope for yourself?
The most joy I get is from finding ways to benefit others. It might be just donating unwanted things to a 2nd hand store but little things like that help others.
@soulsings
You're a very caring person! I really like the idea of giving things one does not need anymore away instead of putting them into the bin!
@amiablePeace77
This picture is so beautiful and visionary.
I don't have hope for the future as much as its the present that I hope for. Recently I have been thinking that I lack good quality friendships in my life. I actually don't have someone to call a "best friend" or casual friend. I'm quite social but my past fears and lack of trust had pushed me to a narrow corner. Due to my PTSD, I have pushed my dearest friends away. I had isolated myself. I was at my lowest point. By the time I got myself together, it was a struggle to be able to make friends again. I have acquaintances that I enjoy talking to but not a shoulder to cry on. I'm content but have always wondered how would it be to have a friend in life. I hope that in future my partner will be my best friend. Though I doubt that I will be putting this burden on him too :) I wish you all beautiful souls to be in your lives.
@LadyInSilence
You've walked a rough path already! Your wish for having a best friend, someone to lean on and also be there for when they need you, is understandable and does not make you a burden. It's about giving and receiving, in my opinion. I hope coming here will give you comfort and feel like having friends!
@amiablePeace77
Now that there is no future in my life, I can tell what I used to think. There was no planning or imagination there and just as well. I would have missed a lot of good times. Any "future" was always short-term because I enjoyed (most of) the present.
I never ask young people what they want to do in the future when they grow up. If they know and show abilities towards their goal, I would soon find out through their conversation.
Even if you already are a young adult, there is ZERO pressure to answer that question, especially if you are doing well enough. Some people plan ahead, even their future love life (!) but it's just their personalities.
Of course, some people will also plan a part of their lives, such as deciding where to spend their retirement, but this planning takes into consideration many factors (affordability, presence of kids and grands or not for instance).
It is more of a decision to take opportunities rather than "hoping" and taking chances to be disappointed;.
When you imagine your future, what do you hope for yourself?
@Fradiga
Thank you for sharing Fradiga. It's important to be brave and ready to take chances when they come your way.

I’m hoping that I continue to make good memories, continue helping others, keep being proud of myself. And my relationship with my immediate family members are much more improved along with getting my own place/home where I can live/be independent.
These are my main hopes for my future.
@akunknown
Those are good things to hope for the future! I believe it is very important for our mental well-being to collect good memories!
When I imagine my future I imagine be finding someone who truly loves and cares for me, and it just feeling finally happy and just you know, easy? I also want to learn how to be independent and how to stop relying on everyone else when at the end of the day it’s only me who will be there for me.
@generousTreeFrog514
Being independent gives freedom for sure.
@amiablePeace77
I'm not sure what I would wish for myself, as long as the people I love are happy and healthy then I will be ok too😊
@Curiosity1217
That's very sweet of you but I also hope you can still enjoy happiness if things are not that way.
@amiablePeace77 hopes for myself🤔🤔 that I live forever😁 so far that plan is working out well😂 I'm also happy knowing that I won't leave my carbon footprint behind.... Infact I won't leave any footprints brhind😂♿
@Tinywhisper11
You will leave your footrests/footplates behind! 😀 It's so nice to see you back in the forum here!
@amiablePeace77 💖💖 hugs you tightly 💖💖it's great to be back💖💖
