She will always remember how much I love her!
I hope the both of us get to realize all of our dreams. I hope he gets to go to the military & be a cop like he wants to, and I hope I can finish my school and get a career in something that I will enjoy working on. I hope we both work hard to make enough money to live well and have an all around good life. I also hope we both learn from our mistakes, mature, & be as happy as possible.
He will have music as a career and I will become a DVM:)
Exactly! I'd add to that but it's perfect like your mind :)

That we will both find jobs and our next move will go smoothly.
That she gets everything she has ever wanted and for her to be strong no matter what obstacle is thrown at her and for her to always have someone around her that cares for her.
spiritual enlightenment
I hope that we both enter rewarding careers and are happy working in that profession for years to come.
She gets her big kitchen, i get to eat the things she makes in that big kitchen.
I hope that she's able to find what to do that makes her happy and makes her money. Nothing is better then finding something that you enjoy that you can spend the rest of your life working on and be happy. Same goes for me.
I hope that I will able to find a balance between being myself and being able to make money to live. Not an easy task and a life pressure that is very unnecessary to me. Thanks world.

If we keep out expenses low and live within our means I think we can find that balance.

Yeah that's the simple way to think of it. which is doable. I think it's more about having the motivation to even be a part of a 'working society' that is repulsive to me. That sounds very naive but exactly how I feel! I think the only thing that will propel me is to believe that I need money for good food and for tools that I need to use to create with. Even finding that motivation is hard. Doing work is so mentally exhausting for me I'll be doing it all day everyday spending all my mental energy on something and then feel very empty after it. That sounds sad. But I don't mean it in a sad way, that's just simply the way it is. In a nutshell, I battle with the feeling of wanting to not do something because I know it will consume my mental resources and I know that will for sure shave years off my life. I guess it's a matter of choosing what to kill my mental energy on, knowing whether it's worth it.

Or learning to restrain your brain, put a price on it. If someone is only willing to give you $500 to do a job and you set your price at $40/hr then you can only spend 12 hours on it. That way you don't burn yourself out and you can more easily manage the work you do.

You still put it really simply but in a complicated way. Does that make sense?
It's not.. about the money for me. And that is seriously the problem with me. You're saying $500... 12 hours... 40 per hour. Makes me snore. That doesn't matter to me. Money doesn't motivate me, that is the only problem. What I'm saying is that I have to find the motivation elsewhere and somehow make money during the process.

Maybe my motivation not being money will be what makes me successful. Here's hoping.

Of course it makes you snore, it would make snore too. However that doesn't mean that that's the only thing you're doing. You do what you love most of your time and do what pays you on the side.

Well I know that. Just finding that balance is going to be hard and that's a fact.

That he will escape corporate america and realize his worth. I want to make a lot money doing something i actually enjoy. I would prefer to teach as a professor. rise up the ranks of a college and one day be the president of an hbcu
I hope she finds her calling/purpose and practical ways to express her passion.
I hope my partner will find a job in his career that will actually make him happy, because he deserves it, and frankly our relationship deserves it. Work, as it is with me is an important part of our lives, so it's hard to not let it affect us at home.
he does what makes him happy with GOOD people by his side. to just be happy
For him to be happy, but I'm holding him back.
I hope that my beautiful wife would learns to trust me more, I'm often faulted for thing just because of her jealousy and insecurity. I must learn to put more faith in her and also to shower her with affection even at those time of disagreements when I typically become a arrogant ass.
