It is finally evident that I have gotten one of my goals completed. One would hope that by the time they reached 21 they might have accomplished at least one thing and I can finally say that I have: no longer living in the home of my parental units. Yes, I did mention this in my previous post but I just feel that I ought to write out my future goals in sequence of how I wish for them to occur:
1) Complete my Anthropology Major and Geography Minor (yes, I realize this is a "duh" type thing since I'm pretty well there, but some people just end up giving up and I am hoping I won't find myself doing that)
2) Find a career that at least touches on some aspect of what I will have spent 5 years in post-secondary education learning (I need this considering I know someone who just graduated in my major and he is now training to be a paramedic, do I have any hope? I certainly do but for that hope to actually become something tangible may be another matter)
3) Travel with this career (I spent most of my up-bringing spending the longest of 3 years in one place. Now that I have lived in Victoria for the past 8 years :'( I feel very restless and I need to just go... go as in just book a flight to anywhere and get on with it with no plan other than going, going, going)
4) Be happy (So I know this should probably be higher in the list, but to be realistic, how is it fun to be stressed out of one's mind trying to figure out what they'll do for the rest of their life? That's a lot of pressure set on one person with so many options in the world. By the point of accomplishing my first 3 goals, I am hoping this will make me happy and that I can genuinly not feel like running away from everything... although Goal 3 is technically me running away, but running away WITH something)
5) Experience life to the fullest (I honestly have no clue what exactly this means because I doubt anyone has actually succeeded in doing so. But trying is something that can be done and if I'm having fun, being happy, and taking into consideration how lucky I am to know the people I know and having been the places I've been (and will go) I can build myself up and figure out all the goods and bads this world has to offer)
6) If it's out there for me: A Long-Term Love (Ok, do not call me a sap because this (at this stage in my life) is further down on the list and not one of my priorities right now. Of course it's always on my mind, but I'm sick of wondering "who will I end up with?" I want to be able to live now and feel now and if something happens with someone who's willing to be with me and wanting to be with me then so be it! I'm not a downer on love but I'm not going to write an entire novel about it either)
7) Have myself a little bumpkin (This is interchangeable with Goal 6 as I do not necessarily need to have the ideal "first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage". I feel that if I at least had a little one they could disown me less easily than a spouse or significant other. Pathetic sounding, perhaps, but it's true. And as much as my co-workers enjoy calling me "Baby-hater" I have a secret: I love babies and children... they also disgust me, but the thought of raising my own and trying to give another person opportunities to figure themselves out and learn and hopefully generate an all around decent human being sounds like the coolest thing ever)
8) Die young (Yeah, hush, I have a deal with a girlfriend. In all seriousness though, I do not ever want to get to the point I can't go to the toilet by myself and I would rather people remember me as a crazy person or a bitch than a crazy bitch who couldn't control her bladder or bowel movements at the very bitter end)
Mhmm
