2020 was a hard year. Lots of people don't know where their life is heading. But let's try to imagine ourselves in the future. Where do you see yourself in ten years?

2020 has taught me that foreseeing the future is hard. I'm not a wizard, but I see myself 10 years away from this god-awful year. And that's a win in any case.

I'm 67 and all of my family died of conditions related to old age before 75. My guess is that I'll probably be dead.

No idea, honestly. The best (and often the worst) thing about the future is that we cannot predict what will happen to us (I actually kinda hate that tbh). So I dunno. I mean, I know that we ourselves make our own future (and if that's the case, then I'm I'm screwed, lol) but if I'm still alive and kickin' after 10 years, it'll be a win in my book!

The successful version: Interning at disney for character design (Or cartoon network i feel like they really need help), With a job at a restaurant, a little apartment, a gorlfriend that loves me, and two cats, Shiro and Catra, maybe a dog named adora if we can afford, Just an all around happy hipster life. The Unsuccesful version (which is more likely to happen): Going to a state college most likely here... in IDAHO. Living in the dorms, just trying to pass in my 4th option major because *Jazz hands* they didn't have my top 3. I have no time for a love life so im just living off of top ramen and anything canned while studying and never doing anything because im broke.
But we shouldn't think negatively right?

I want to be a YouTuber but, not an OMIGOSH I GOT A NEW DIAPER! one. I wanna be one for humor but it’s normally males who do things like that. I always feel like girls and boys watch male YouTubers but females only watch females. If that career doesn’t work out, I’m going for being a dermatologist. No hate. No this is not a phase

Ok, so lots of people on here are going through some really difficult times at the moment, and I just wanted to say that things will get better. No matter how hard things are right now, you can make it! Especially with covid going round, it's very important that we look out for each other, even on bored panda. I love all of you pandas and I want you guys (and girls) to know that I appreciate how much you all care about each other. If any of u pandas need to talk, I'm here for you and I will always try to help as best as I can :)

Think about what makes you happy. Research careers in that field. For example, I like science, animals, and the outdoors, so I might want a career in biology.

I have so many dreams but the one that I am certain on is helping those in the population that are struggling with mental health. I am a survivor of far too many years of abuse. It hit me one day that the best ‘revenge’ I could ever have against the people in my life that did terrible things to me was to take what they meant to destroy me and use it for good to help those around me.

Same! I'm only 12 but I've been through some s**t. I want to help children with mental health problems (like me) and suicidal children (like my old bff and other people who I know). Suicide is not the answer! It only makes more pain. To anyone who reads this and is in a difficult or dangerous position, you can do this! You are loved very much and the world is so much better with u in it! Love and hugs, BlindingDarkness. Stay safe, pandas! xoxox
