My Future?

I honestly haven't put much thought into who or what I will be in the future. I know better than a lot of people that making plans isn't always the smartest choice. It's best just to live and take life as it comes to you. I know that I want a better life for myself and for the family that I hope to have one day. A better life than what I have now atleast. I love my mother and ,in my eyes, she is the strongest person in the world, but I won't do anything the way she did. She has taught me that you can't just sit back and believe that everything will be better tomorrow, because most times it won't be. Everything that I want out of life has come from how she was with me and my brother. I couldn't have asked for a better mom, just a better situation. Maybe I'll have a nice two story brick house with a little picket fence off in suburbia somewhere, or maybe I'll still be in Childress. Either way I won't be disappointed. Hopefully I'll meet a guy who has all his issues worked out and who is stable enough to have a family. I know it won't all be fun and there will probably be more bad days than good days, but that's normal, right? I'm pretty sure that I haven't met the person that I'll spend my life with, and I don't even know if I will any time soon. That takes time and I don't think very many people find it in high school. I hope to have all the same friends I have now because I love all of them and I need them to be who I am. I'm pretty sure I won't make it without them. My hopes for the future are still pretty vague but I still have time. I hope things workout for the best, and I'll work hard to get to where I need to be. But, no promises, no let downs.
