Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I'm just going to pretend I'm dead.
In 6 months, I hope my husband and children are well, and that I have easy make dumplings in the freezer.

The simple things in life can be the greatest
The simple things in life can be the greatest
A mosquito in my room reminds me of this every night.
6 months, warmer.
5 years. I'd like my eldest children to be in university
10 years, eldest with decent jobs, younger starting university.
30 years? I'd just like to still be alive with the wishes for my children fulfilled.

Now I'm imagining a little mosquito buzzing down by your ear every night and reminding you, "The simple things in life can be the greatest" before flying away.
It reminds me alright, 10 times per second.

More peaceful and less painful.
Content.
Is there anything specific that would make you content?
Safety and belonging are the two main ones. I include good health and financial stability in the former.
Do you mind if I ask what belonging would mean to you and what things you are doing to reach that? Or is that something you think would come naturally?

I want my bipolar to be cured, to go back to school, learn how to create software for the computers in microwaves, cars, etc, and make more than $50,000 a year. No medication, no therapy, no more wasting my time. Maybe in my spare time I'll create software to help people understand their own natural divinity.
What is really going to happen? I'll buy more stuff I'll barely use, keep taking the medication I need, go to therapy, and maybe if I'm lucky I'll make a new friend to spend more of my time with. My reality will never reach the ideal status, although if I focus enough I might be able to create something that explains people's natural divinity better.

Belonging would mostly mean finding a community I could truly call home and feel safe in. I'm thankful that my family are loving and caring; this is about a community well beyond family.
As for what I'm doing to reach that, I'm working on emigrating.

That sounds like what a therapist might ask, or a question at a job interview.
Actually, a few weeks ago, my therapist asked me how I envision my life five years from now. I told her I just live one day at a time and I have no idea what is going to happen in my life.
What I would 'like' my life to look like is that I would be married and probably also retired, sooner than five years from now, but that is not necessarily what will happen, because no matter what I do, I have little control over what happens. I have free will to make certain choices but that does not mean I will achieve the desired outcome. I can try and try to find a man to marry but that does not mean I will find one. Ultimately, I believe that God determines what my fate will be, although I also have to make an effort, because if I don't 'do anything' nothing will happen. As such, I believe that free will and God's will work in concert.
I cannot think as far ahead as a decade, but if I am still alive, all I can hope for is that I am still healthy and that I would have been able to be more active in the Baha'i Faith, worked towards its goals, and help other people in whatever way I can.
I do not expect to still be alive on earth in 30 years, I expect that my soul will have taken its flight to the spiritual world by then.

I'll second that!
