I think my hopes start with finishing school. I also dream of becoming a better person. I try to do something that helps with my growth each day (I'll usually take a walk, journal or volunteer). I don't have a specific goal in mind, but I know I want to improve in the future, so these are some of the steps I take.

I would like to be at peace and love myself, have friends and a job I like.

I'm trying to socialise everyday, even if only a little. I probably need to do more self-care and figure out what direction to take in my career.

my hopes and dreams for the future are to maintain stability, positivity and wellness in all aspects of my life. in order to achieve this goal, i have to identify with what changes need to be made in my lifestyle and behavior, as well as identify with becoming a more responsible person.

Personally, I'm taking great and mighty steps towards becoming the kind of writer I've always wanted to be.




Whilst my hopes and dreams are not to write in particular but to effect a change in the mindset of the way people see themselves and the world around them, my current medium of doing so is through writing.




My hopes and dreams is to create as much awareness as I can to people of the unique beauty they possess and how much power they actually truly hold over themselves.




By God, I will do all these and more in this year.

My hopes and dreams. I'm not sure. I have difficulty hoping and dreaming for things. I'm so often finding myself faced with obstacles to basic things that I've largely given up on hopes and dreams for the future. I have difficulty believing anything will get better, even if I try. I still do, but there's only so much adversity one can face and a limit to how many people who lack consideration or empathy one can handle before it breaks a person. I'm more existing like an empty husk, trying to tell myself to not have ideals or expectations or ask anything of anyone, since it only creates more conflict, frustrating, and suffering for trying.

One of these days, I'll get out to make community connections. Maybe I could believe things will get better and find something to contribute to making it so. Otherwise, acceptance of life's futility under the current circumstances.

@ASilentObserver my hopes for the future include being able to go to college, be able to live on my own with my autism and my adhd struggles, and to be able to know exactly how to love someone wholely and openmindedly.

What are your hopes and dreams for the future?

think our biggest hope is to keep  going on our healing journey. as feel that will help us be the best we can be. we also have dreamed for freedom from daily abuse. we have that now, but with that a dream of learning to live another way then what use to be our normal.

What steps are you taking to achieve them?

we been on  self discovery  and healing bt doing healing work it very hard a lot of the time.

we set goals to changes  things we use to  do within the abuse

we learned more about feelings, we still feel we have a long ways on learning and being able to talk about our feelings.  giving them the label that fit them better too.

we movied away from ones that abused us.

we learned to set boundaries  and still learning more about that too.

we learned more about what normal way of living is one of the big things was learning to talk not yell at others.

we set goals to learn what ways we think that not healthy and learn healthy ways to think.

think with that was learning that no one 100% at fault. that we when having issues with others share in part of the fault. this not talking about abuse, but even within that at times we do things that can make it worst.

so our hopes and dreams are mostly about learning  better ways of living. dreams are to really keep on healing. this not for  others but for us.
