Now I’m in my second year at art school in Japan and I often dream about my future. I have big plans and I ’ d like to tell you a little about them.

Besides, I hope to marry and have children before I’m 30, but I can’t plan when I’ll meet the right person and I don’t have a boyfriend now.

In my dreams I see myself at 40 running a successful gardening company. I’ll design beautiful gardens for beautiful people.I’ll have a beautiful house with a swimming pool, two beautiful children, and of course a husband who is as successful as I am.Who knows, it could even be Jasper.
