Figuring Out What I Want


Hi. I am still stuck on the final assignment in the January lesson book. This is the one where you get to write about the life you want to have, and where you get to put your dreams for yourself and your life down on paper. How do I figure out what my dreams for my life are?? I have some very vague ideas, most of which seem mutually exclusive, but to be honest, I really don’t know what I want. I am a single-parent of a teenage daughter with severe mental health issues (OCD, depression, and anxiety), along with being the sole breadwinner in our household of 2. This has been my life for 17 years, and I have been putting my dreams on hold for so long that I have very little idea of who I am or what I want. How can I approach this quandary?
