You see, there&#8217;s something about goals that keeps us hoping for the better things in life. Sure, we know not everything will go as planned, but it&#8217;s still nice to think about. Sure, your situation may be unpleasant right now, but what will it look like years from now? That&#8217;s where the hope comes in. So I would love to share where I would like to be in the future. I would say I have a ton of plans for my future, so sit back, grab some tea\/ coffee and join me on my dreamy path of hopes.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">First, I will be going to college somewhere either in New York(ideal) or in Iowa. The University of Iowa has great opportunities for me as a writer, but so does some place like the New School where I could get an amazing internship, and more connections. I want to work in publishing, while also writing along the way. It would also be nice to dual major in psychology or something of the sort. Shoot, I&#8217;d even be down to minoring in a language(but I think I&#8217;ll do that in my free time). I look forward to my college endeavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">After I graduate from college I would like to be working in the publishing industry ideally in New York. Although, I&#8217;m having an internal conflict. Do I want somewhere more earthy, maybe the outskirts of New York? That could be an option. Either way, I&#8217;ll need plenty of money. So I also considered staying in Mississippi, but I think that it&#8217;s best that I go ahead and head out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">After I get settled in my later years, it would be nice to get a corgi, and open up my own botanical\/ plant shop. I would serve drinks such as coffee and tea to those checking out my plants in a different area, and my corgi would roam free. I would write in my spare time, probably about my plant findings and the human mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">I mean, my main goal in life is to help other people. I really want to make a difference. I want to bring people together. I believe in the power of community, love, respect, and many other wonderful things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">So I encourage you to think of your future endeavors. They don&#8217;t have to be some magical, pretty, put together idea, but rather what you really feel like doing. Feel free to share in the comments!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\">-Maple &lt;3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, I have been asked where I see myself in a couple years by many people.
