You don't mince words, do you. :P

1. What I want most is to be content. One can't always be happy, and that's an abused word, and "content," just satisfied with who I am and what I have, is more accurate. I'd like to get married and maybe have a kid or two, but I don't know about that yet. If I had kids I'd want to live in a quieter space with a bit more room, but if it was just me and maybe a guy, I'd like to live in either a small apartment in a large city or a larger house in a more remote town. I'm definitely going to university (5% chance I'll just do college instead, but I hope not) and depending on if I get accepted to my first- or second-place goals, I'll transition from there to some sort of internship in my chosen field, or I'll derp around a bit until I settle in some of semi-professional job.

2. I'd really love to change the world, but considering no one has ever done this at the level I want to, this is not a realistic goal. It'd be nice to be meaningful enough to get my name out there in whichever field I'll work in, like as a published author, but I'd also be happy as behind-the-scenes, working behind a bigger name to do or create things that bring people joy or peace.

3. Finish high school with high grades and money saved, move away to university for 4 years learning how to adult, if I switch majors that will change my life path but if that's better for me, I'm okay with it. Again, job and thus location in the world depends on which university I go to, but I have the opportunity to become moderately successful, which enough for me to be comfortable and be able to give, to help others. On more personal, or emotional, terms, I'd like to have some really good friends whom I can trust with anything, and some younger ones to mentor through whatever comes at them, and thus repay the people who are helping me right now.

4. I /think/ I'll get out of life what I've stated above. So yes, it lines up just right because I'm constantly adjusting my vision according to my current state. Anything could mess it up and I realise that, and I do expect some obstacles that I'll solve or redirect at. The closest thing I can foresee is not getting grades as high as I hope for.

5. I don't live life for the moment; I live it for my career, because that's where I'll spend the most of my time alive. I'm just trying to educate myself outside of school on things that interest me and will make me a more useful person to the world. I know I need to build a lot more character along the lines of self-control and not being distracted, and I know I'm not doing much to fix that, because... little self-control and quick distraction. :P If anyone has help for me, I'll take it. :P
