I'd like to graduate from high school.  Use what I learn in high school to find a career that I'm interested in.  Maybe take online college courses. 

I hope to meet people I enjoy spending time with.  To joke and laugh at, I mean with.  Maybe move to Alaska where it is cold and dark and there are no snakes.  I'd like to live in a medium sized house.  I don't want pets or children.  I might want a roommate for the rent.  MAYYYYYBE a cat one day.  I really want a simple life.

Learn to manage my time.  Graduate from high school.  Learn to manage my anxiety about the future :(  My anxiety of the future is my biggest opponent. 

I will know I have made progress when I can think about the future without fear (or without crying).  This exercise was grueling.  It took a long time to get this done.  I don't like to think about the future.
