You in 5 years

You - in five years 

I want you to think about these issues. I want you to really think about them. Then I want you to write down what you think. Try to find some answers to these questions. I'm not saying that you have to decide in detail what your whole life is going to be like, but I want you to make some general guidelines for yourself. Try to use some type of structure in your text. Use headlines. Use paragraphs,
Here are some questions to get you started:

1) What is important to you right now? (What do you spend most of your time thinking about?)
2) Do you want this to be your priorities for the rest of your life?
3) Think about the people that are close to you right now.
What are they like? What are their good qualities and their maybe not so good qualities? Which relationships will be important to you in the future do you think? You need to take care of the people that you like. If you don't take care of your relationships that you value, perhaps in the future, you won't have that relationship in your life anymore. This can be relationships with your friends, your parents, perhaps a partner or the rest of your family.
4) Think about your future relationships.
What do you need in a relationship to feel good?
In the future, do you want to live alone or do you want to live with someone? Do you want to have a partner? What is that partner like do you think? What qualities and abilities would a great partner for you have?
5) Think about some of the things that you want to do in your life.
What kind of job would you like? Do you want to travel? Where? Do you want to do these things alone or together with someone? Where do you want to live? What does your first home look like? Do you live there alone or together with someone? Keep in mind that your first own home can be very different from the other homes that you will have in your life. You will probably have many different homes during your life.

6) What do you want your life to look like in five years?
7) What do you need to do to get there?
8) Ask your parents or another adult that you are close to, what were they like when they were your age.
