My short term goal is to complete a training course for a new certification in my field. I have lots of time to do it now because I’m working from home. Another hope is that the world will be a safer place by the end of the summer so that my bf and I can celebrate his birthday (we’re flying to get to a vacation). Long term, I’d like to get engaged. 😊

In the future I would like to visit more countries like Europe & Australia, my relatives have been there and liked the places, so in the future when I'm less busy (hopefully) I can find some time to travel and visit there!

Short term: Get to see family and friends hopefully sooner than later

Long term: Raise my son right, make enough money to be able to support him and he have a comfortable life

Thank you so much for hosting these amazing contests :3

Goals for myself: Stop being lazy, and keep up with housework better. And to get more projects done around the house.

Dreams: I hope to bring another little bundle of joy into our family soon :3

I hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy in these hard times <3 <3 <3

Well for now I just want to find a job that I don't hate doing, but the current real world situation has made that... difficult. Long term, I just want to live happy with my boyfriend. My depression has made relationships difficult for me in the past and I don't want to mess this up. But we are taking it step-by-step <3

I am having a hard time deciding specifics but my main ones are to get my masters and move somewhere colder and have a job I like, probably as a librarian

My goal is to finish my studies and move to a next chapter in my life. In long term I want to be more gentle with myself on hardships and to find a job in which I can thrive. ✊

If I hear hopes and dreams, I am always thinking about HIM! But beware Undertale spoiler!

But if I think about my personal hopes and dreams there is in these trying times one wish. I hope I survive this pandemic. And then I want a better apartment and hope I can visit my friends again and go to conventions. Get a better job, more money, more time with my family... humble hopes and dreams. ^^

And for comedian? I fricking love John Mulaney!

My long term goal is to travel the world. There is so much left to see and things to try.

My short term is to survive the virus.

My hopes and dreams change frequently, but right now I'm hoping for and dreaming of travel. Lots of travel, to anywhere that is not my backyard or the mailbox. My Dad used to pile us in the car and drag us on long road trips all over the USA. I didn't appreciate that as a kid, but I do now. When all of this virus mess calms down, I hope to see more of the world. :)

My hope for the future is that people will be less judgmental and more loving in general.

I know it's far fetched but I am just tired of all the judgement people throw around. The judgement almost always leads to someone being angry, offended, hurt, or worse, shamed. All of that negativity is unnecessary. If people just realized that we are all different and all trying our best to do the best we can, then I think everyone might be more kind and empathetic. We all make mistake or say or do the wrong thing, and we all learn and move on from these things (hopefully). We are all human, after all.

I have a few hopes and dreams, but what I have really always wished for for many years is to find someone I can consider a big brother. I know it sounds like a simple thing but it actually isn't at all.

Short term, well I want to get back into making things with my hands. Specifically I want a pressure-pot so I can play with making sets of dice for table top games. Hell maybe even start drawing again.

Long term, if this entire world on fire situation has taught me anything is that I really need to take steps to work for myself. Working for another person has never been my passion, and seven years into it I feel like this is about as big of a "sign" that the planet can send me. I am thankful that my path has lead me here, and I'm so grateful to have worked with the amazing people (and some not so) who I would never have otherwise met not having worked for "the man" so to speak. But I'm ready to chase my own dreams now. Waiting around on it really doesn't take you anywhere.

I've gotta admit, the first thing I thought of was wishing that the US took care of its people. Universal healthcare, universal standard income, admitting climate change exists and do something about it instead of somehow believing that sticking your fingers in your ears makes the real world go away, not having a would-be authoritarian dictator. But I have no power to enact those changes, and therefore I will always be miserable. My somewhat cynical hope is that, even though the virus is horrible that it might wake the rich up to what people truly NEED.

I've be rather enjoying just making things and being creative, so I wish I could do that instead of a full time job. That's what people used to do for a "living:" making all their own clothes, farming etc. That said my job's not bad, and I would like to think that I'm helping the environment by doing it. Hope you get to do what you want to do. :)

A smattering of unorganized long term goals would be to possibly get a second more specialized Master's degree in a foreign country (getting to see the world, hooray!), owning some land and some horses and mules, and maybe getting married which funny enough is the least likely of the three for me because I do not get along with people. Short term goal is to be able to go out so I can go camping and kayaking again.

Someday I’d love to raise a kid with my partner, as 2 nonbinary parents.

Being able to make a living doing art would also be cool. 😭

My hopes and dreams. I guess the end to allergy season. Sneeze. I also wish to finish my quilt I am making and just haven't been working on and actually dust my room.

Long term I echo the hopes for peace and happiness.
