Could be big picture, like a life goal. Could be what you want right this moment. What do you yearn for?

    I would love to spend the rest of my life creating open source software. Bonus points for working on my own projects and getting them to a state where other people can use them.

    Proper wealth distribution for now and in perpetuity (no billionaires or trillionaires. Apparently my spell-check doesn’t recognize the latter as a word, so it’s got the right idea.) I’d like global warming to be fixed, AI to disappear, and for people to use critical thinking on a daily basis both for the news they encounter, and to reflect on their own beliefs.

    Then once that’s accomplished, I’d like to be aged back to my mid-20s so I can have a family. I love kids, but the idea is absolutely unfeasible with the way the world is. Even if things started getting fixed today, it would take years if not decades for everything to settle, and I’d be in the “advanced maternal age” camp with all its risks, or straight up going through menopause before it’s all done. Even if I adopted, I’d rather have more youth myself so I can keep up with the kids.

    The rich really, truly fucked the world (and shot themselves in the foot) by making it prohibitively expensive for so many of us to survive.

      Hi me. It’s never too late to try. I finally started getting the help I needed, and it was 2 years too late and after I already permanently ruined my chance at something really good that only happens once in a lifetime, but better late than never, right?

    I’ve only ever wanted 3 things in life, the fourth desire came later on.

    Stability.

    A loving relationship.

    A stable, well paying job. (Not looking to be rich, just not relegated to renting illegal shitty apartments.)

    My own home.

    I’m turning 40 this year and I’ve gotten 0/4 so far…

    I want my ex to get her shit together. For the sake of our kid. Get your drivers license already, get a job, stop sponging off me, and kindly show him that he can have two stable parents instead of one stable parent and one who’s a hot mess.

    And I want to get put on salary at work but that’s a pipe dream.

    To be gendered correctly without immense effort on my part. I know it’s trivial af for cis people, but it steers most of my decision making and how I interact with people. I wish I could just exist and be seen correctly like most everyone else.

    Unironically, money//stable income. Being piss poor has resulted a lower experience of life for us, every time we get some money it’s all spent on necessities we neglected for a long time due to not having income. We don’t want to be rich, but we do want to have a stable and reasonable income where we can save up for things we want and spend a reasonable amount on living.

    In that sense it would only be reachable for us if we owned our own business, we’ve been thinking of opening a record shop (that also has cool collectibles/comics/etc stuffs) with an online shop and even sell some home made art stuff. Or get really big in our current business with art commissions. Regardless one way or another, there has to be a couch or a day bed where we can lay down for when our chronic pains flare up and we will be slay trans girl behind the counter 💅🏻 lmao.

    Being content and at peace without being constantly tired or feel shame and guilt about finding it.
