[...] this is basically my introduction, it’s probably best to let you in on some of my goals. I’m learning to be a tentative goal-maker, though. I don’t like to set myself, or anyone else up, for disappointment. So, if I don’t make [...]

You are SO RIGHT! LIFE fucking happens and it’s shitty! Some people say that we should enjoy the “in between” or the journey but I can only enjoy it if it’s taking me where I want and need to be going! This? Not enjoying it as much as I would be if I knew I was going to accomplish what I set out to accomplish.

I had one of those life plans some years ago, but then I changed my mind on one of them (which was ok because it wasn’t going to happen anyway) and then later thought I’d reached another part of it but discovered I was wrong. Now in my 20′s I’m thinking, whoa, got to get back on it, so I’ve formalised what I want to do, I just need the confidence to go for it. I often think we could do with a few more hundred years life span.

You’re lucky you have a plan because you know what you want. Some people don’t. I love thinking ahead and planning ahead. I have the baby fever and I’m trying so hard to wait a little bit longer.

Having a plan–one that you’re really excited about–gives you such a huge push forward, but you may not get there as fast or as easily as you wanted, and you may find as you’re walking that you need to change directions. I’m doing tons of things right now that I love and I didn’t plan any of them out exactly, but I kept pushing forward and ran right into them. I think it’s so much easier to figure out what you want while you’re doing something, instead of waiting for things to find you. It’s in my nature to play it safe, but the best things have come from just going ahead even with my doubts.

Good luck! You’re already working toward the things you want.

I wish I had a plan! I hate not having a job and sitting home all day. It almost feels like I am wasting money getting a degree right now because I don’t have a job gah!

I know more than anyone life doesn’t go as planned. You just have to roll with it and hope that something good comes along, I guess.

At 17 or 18, I seriously thought I had my life planned out as well. surprise! things aren’t going totally as *I* planned…and it sucks.

but I think it all comes down to accepting the fact that things aren’t always going to go as planned (which is a lesson I need to continuously work on)

I have a pretty clear idea of what direction my life is heading in, but plans always change on us right? Thanks to that little thing called life! I defiinitely didn’t “plan” to be in a long-distance relationship for this long. But it is what it is I suppose.

I love feeling like I have a direction that I’m heading in, but I always feel like my plans are a little arbitrary- like things will come up and derail them or turn them around, you know?

But I think your plan sounds great! If you know you want to start a family right away and wait for school until later, as long as you can have good work in between then that sounds great!

I think plans are reasonable. I used to have a plan – but now? Gone.

The only plan I’ve got is to 1) shorten my commute soon. 2) Have kids before I’m 30 – though I won’t have kids unless I’m in a good place (happy with life).
