Since I was young, I've contemplated who I want to be, what I want to do, all of the goals one should have in life. A lot of this stemmed from observations of older women and thinking "that's not how I want my life to be spent." I want to be happy and appreciative. I want to be self-sufficient, both financially and joyfully. And I never want to stop learning. Those are the most important things that always resurface when I contemplate the future me, well, and the present me for that matter.

"Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world." -Eleanor Roosevelt, role model
