In my future condo I will have blank white walls, vibrant colored lofting furniture, and odd-shaped tables and chairs. I love the idea of wood floors, and maybe a throw-carpet or two. My kitchen will be spacious, with beautiful counters, an island, and a bar with stools. I will not keep alcohol in my house, because to me, alcohol is a social thing, not an “I have had a long day and need a drink” type of thing. I fear ever becoming an alcoholic, so I have made it a goal to never drink alone, ever. I will only drink at social events. I will keep healthy food in my fridge such as fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and organic meat. I will hardly be home to cook a good meal, so I don't think my fridge will ever be completely stocked. Music will always be on when I am home, and a vintage tea pot will always be on the stove, ready to heat water for my night's serving. My bedroom will be large, with those tall windows to wake up to, a large soft bed, artwork that friends have made me, and a walk-in-closet. I want the to wake up to the sun shining on my face every morning, or the snow falling from the sky. I want to watch lights of other buildings go out, and see planes and birds flying around.
I see myself as a hard-working big-time magazine editor, living in New York and loving every minute of my life. I am going to work with many people, help many people, and inspire many people. I can almost see myself as a workaholic, because that's pretty much what I am now, but if I love my job, I don't know if I would care too much. I want to wear beautiful clothing, and have a walk-in-closet with every type of clothing you can think of. I will have half of my closet for vintage clothing and half for name-brand clothing.
I will own a vintage clothing shop which features clothing that is altered by me, my colleagues, and vendors. I will hire young people who were like me as a teenager, ambitious and creative, and who want nothing but to inspire people to be individuals. I want my vintage clothing shop to be located in a big, old Victorian house in New York City. This house will have racks for hangers, shelves, and display cases for all of the vintage clothing, shoes, and jewelery. I would also like to have a sewing area with many sewing machines and materials for sewing so I can hold workshops and show people how to alter clothing to make it look better, or maybe just to tailor clothing so it can fit right. My colleagues and I will sell the vintage clothing we alter, and it will also be open for vendors who would like to sell their work. I would somehow like to intertwine my magazine editing job, and this job of owning an vintage shop, but I'm not quite sure how I would do that yet.
A goal of mine is to someday fly my mom to New York to stay with me for a week. I want to take her to dinner, Broadway shows, shopping, and whatever else she might want to do. That is one of my main goals in life. My mom has never been able to travel, or do anything very fun because she has never had very much money. My dad will most definitely not tag along, but I know that if I convinced my mom to visit me in New York, then she would have the time of her life. I want to make my mom proud, show her my apartment, and show her all the good things I am doing with my life. I will take her to work and introduce her to my colleagues, and I will show her what I do everyday. I will spoil her rotten, because no one has ever done anything like that for her before. This trip will be my treat entirely, actually, it would be an honor to treat my mom to such luxury.
When I have experienced these moments, I will know that I have reached success, but I won't stop there, my goals will only continue to grow.
