  • Peace

    In three years, I will live in a little house in the woods by a river. People will not bother me.

  • Circus

    I think I will join a circus. I could be the person who gets shot out of a cannon. Maybe I could be a trapeze artist as well. I have…

  • ?

    I do not know.

  • Fingers Crossed

    In three years, I will be free of all care and worry. I will be living my best life.

  • Elsewhere

  • Progress

    In three years I will be working harder than ever at a job that pays well, and increasing my investment in my blog posts. I don’t know what that looks…

  • Fix

    I’ll have become someone who no longer tries to fix things that are not hers to fix.

  • Stop Explaining

    Three years from now, I’ll stop explaining myself for doing safe things that make me happy. Happiness won’t need justification.

  • Curiosity

    In three years, I will have learned how to be entranced by simple things. Clouds, strangers, and my own presence will satiate my curiosity.

  • Satiate

    In three years, I will stop waiting for “big” moments to feel alive. A good meal, a good book, or a good laugh will be enough to satiate my desires.
