It seems as though I don’t want to envision my future, because it seems too bleak, but without envisioning a future what is there to look forward to? So my therapist asked me to find out other people’s answers to the following questions. Here’s what I found out from my friends:

Where do you want to be in 10 years?

Louis: I want to be famous, win the lottery, and basically be the new Taylor Swift. I want people to be putting my face on top of their Christmas tree.

Sai: I want to have finished at Leeds University with a degree in something to do with mental health and found a job in a psychiatric unit. I want to be living independently, hopefully still in London. I would like to be able to drive and have traveled about a bit, be in a serious relationship, and still be friends with those I am close to currently. I want to be healthy and well.

Sophie: I would like to have been to university and done well, and to have a good job. And I want to be able to spend more time with you.

What would you do with three million pounds?

Sai: Buy a house, give money to my family, go on holiday, buy a car, and save the rest.

Sophie: I would give some to all my friends and family, give some to my charity and then take you, Dom, Louie, Louis, and Ethan on the most expensive and lavish holiday I could.

What would you do with 100 million pounds?

Sai: I’d want to spend it all in one go. I’d get all of my friends struggling and in debt out of debt. Make my parents resign.

Sophie: OMGGGG! I would do all the things above, and more. And I would travel around the world and make a film, which we could direct together.

I still don’t quite know how to respond to these questions, but I’ll let you know. ♦
