What would you like to do with your life?

Difficult question...become a writer who can live off of writing, make a difference to the world, find a partner who loves and respects me for who I am, and who I love and respect in return, have good friends, have children, who turn out okay, and, most importantly, find a state of contentment where I don't hate who I am and grieve the past.

On a more realistic note, I would like to get my BSc in Psychology in 2010, and then get a place for postgraduate study in Edinburgh (yes, I know, the chances are slim) for Counselling or somewhere else, where I saw a specific "Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy" course. Alternatively, I would try to get a job as an assistant psychologist first, which is hard with just a Bachelor. After that, I would like to start working with children and adolescents, and keep doing that hopefully for a long, long time, because I hope I'll be able to deal with it.

Another dream of mine is working with children in a developing country for a while, for example traumatised child soldiers. I'll have to see how my "real" job pays first, though, and see if I can just disappear for a while. (And no, I don't know if I'd be strong enough to do that.)

I would also like to travel, if possible, and see as many places as possible.

The family package would be nice as well. I'm aware that families aren't perfect, and that they're hard, that they won't give you happiness, but that you have to be okay with yourself first - but I would still like to have children one day. Not now.

Wow, that's a pretty long list, and if only half of that comes true, I'd be satisfied.
