      This is a thread for the more grown up members. As a teenager that is growing way too fast .
      I was wondering if you guys managed to get what you want in life, like the job that you grew up wanting or settling down with a family.

      So have you guys got what you wanted in life or maybe found something better?

      Good thread. Can&#39;t believe nobody&#39;s replied to this yet...


      Well, I&#39;m only 20, but, I still consider myself to be reasonably mature. So, have I got what I wanted?

      What I want is a good woman to spend the rest of my life with, and to have a daughter with. I want to be an historian, and write and lecture for a living. I want to know stuff, and continue to know stuff, and know more stuff as time goes on. I want to be reasonably well-off, and able to afford the finer things in life... good food, good wine, nice resteraunts, a good house, etc.

      So, have I got what I want yet? No, unfortunately. But I&#39;m only twenty... it&#39;ll come with time, I suspect. Or not...

      I&#39;ve pretty much achieved what I&#39;ve wanted to so far in my life.
      Graduated college. Good job. Got married. Bought a house. Two wonderful kitties (not kids). Getting a dog in the spring.
      Now the parents and grandparents are bugging us about having kids. I&#39;m still undecided about that but leaning more toward NO. Every woman in the world doesn&#39;t need to be a baby-making machine. I&#39;m content with my animals. Why does no one understand that??

      heh, SOME people understand that...stay true to your heart burnsie

      ----
      as far as responding to the excellent thread...

      no, i haven&#39;t accomplished much of what i wanted as an adolescent. i didn&#39;t explicitly know what exactly it was i really wanted in life.

      only within the last year have i considered myself an "adult", simply because i am coming to realize what i do want out of life, for the first time, in explicit terms.

      1. a community of like-minded people capable of honesty, compassion, cooperation, laughter, and living outside the accepted norms.

      2. being able to look myself in the mirror without feeling the shame of being a hypocrite.

      3. a small home in nature, near a clean stream/river, where i can grow a garden, and enjoy nature with loved ones. if feasible, adopt two or more children and love them as my own flesh, with the help of a partner, and the community in number 1.

      4. the ability to express myself artistically in a satisfying way.

      5. to never stop learning, and challenging my preconceptions.

      ---
      so how is my progress on these hopes?

      1. i have realized that the people desired are out there, but i have not yet lived and breathed and eaten within such a community for more than brief stints

      2. i can normally look in the mirror without crippling guilt and shame.

      3. still just a dream

      4. slowly, slowly finding release through music and words. though it feels like trying to drain an ocean through a pinprick, instead of the desired tidal wave.

      5. i learn more every day.

      --------
      i&#39;m 23 by the way.

      and i should have added

      6. find happiness without NEEDING drugs or alcohol.

      my progress on this is minimal, and negatively affects all my other goals.

      Yes, she does, and she&#39;s nearly as yum as Burns, if I remember correctly. Burns: Brunette Edition..... mmmmm...
      Unfortunately she&#39;s married, too.

      Oh well...

      Haha, yep - as Blue correctly states, I DO have a sister (and yes, she&#39;s the brunette version), but she&#39;s not technicially married YET (1/07).
      And she is planning on having kids so maybe that will take the heat of me&#33; Hopefully...
