I see myself in a place that I'm free.

A place that I could be whoever I wanted to be, a place that I

would fully call as my 'home'. In ten years’ time, I would be fully stable in a way that I could do
anything I want to do. I can't see myself building my own family in those years. I could see
myself graduating from my med school. I would probably be working on a mental health clinic
to fulfill my dreams to help people who are experiencing mental illnesses. I also see myself
being financially stable that I could spoil my younger cousins. I could see myself in the future as
a person that already knew how to forgive others and her. Other than that, I hope that in ten
years’ time, I would be able to love myself and to know my worth.

Life is inevitable to changes and challenges. Reaching dreams wouldn't be so easy to get, having
challenges along the way is a must to make you strong. As they always said, "Experiences are
the best teacher." Ten years is a long run, hardships would always be there. Thinking about the
possible challenges that I might go through then I would say, it would be a problem about
financial and my mental stability. My family is neither rich nor poor; I best believe that my
family belonged to a middle class. I know that my dreams are financially hard and more to that
t's related to medicine. Other than that, I know myself. I have weak mental stability. There are
times that my anxiety and overthinking will overpower me. Besides that, I think that my fear will
also be a part of challenges for me. I'm a person who doesn't like taking risks, I am afraid of
changes. I don't like being in a place wherein I have to decide for myself because as I've said, I
am afraid of changes that will happen to my sorroundings and I. In life, I just have simply one
goal, I want to have a life that I could say that I'm truly happy. I've always wish that someday, I
would be happy and contented with my life. In my younger years, I have filled my life with
hatred, pain, and sadness. And so, the only one goal that I have besides the materialistic things is
to have my own inner peace. I would like to be free. Life is unpredictable, there's no assurance
that everything that I've hoped for will happen but nevertheless, if all those things that I've
wished came true then I know that I would truly be happy. In the present time, I could say that
I'm happy but there are times that I felt it's not genuine. Whether it might happen or not, I still
hope for the best for myself in ten years time. Only time will tell, and so, being strong is the only
option to overcome all the challenges and hardships that will come through.
