10 years ago I was approaching 18, I didn't think at that time I would get this old. I don't think I had any long term plans around that time besides the uni I dropped out of later, I was constantly disassociating at that time anyway. I can say that I am much better off that I would have dreamed, I'm having a roof over my head, got my parents and sister banished from my life, can afford food and to help friends in need, I have people in my life that don't despise me despite my involuntarily best efforts. There are still many things wrong with me, many things I need to figure out, many things I need to do, but for many of those I have the means to do it I think... just need to take care to approach change and not just cling to what I have out of fear of loosing it... I don't take for granted what I have and it is hard sometimes to relax and not worry to a paralyzing degree

I know where I want to be in 10 years... but who knows what happens between now and then.
