What do you want out of life?
April 10, 2019 at 10:36 pm
I want to know what people here on AF want out of life. There are some characters on here; a lot of intelligent individuals and I'm interested to know what you guys/gals want out of life... Do you want a great career? A family and the white picket fence thing? A cabin in the woods where you don't have to ask anyone? Love? Spirituality? Happiness?
Leave your ideas here, even if it's just vague concepts or very specific things.
I definitely want to feel fulfilled. I don't want children though I would like to get married one day (not legally but just to find someone to be together with forever). I love to write and would like to make a living doing that. I want to travel. I want to work for myself (which I sort of do right now). I want close friends. I'd like to be rich, but that's in stark contrast with the whole writing-for-a-living thing :
Beyond that... not much. I think I'm pretty simple.
How about you guys?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

Not to die slowly, in great pain.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

To not keep on being asked this same question?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

A decent sized catamaran. To have enough money to retire and travel the world.
And to take someone with me when I go.
Oh, and a Viking funeral.
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"

Such desire requires the will to kill yourself most of the time.
What I want:
- To work doing what I like and contribute to it. More specifically, work as a researcher. Hopefully my work will inspire people.
- Live in Japan, and enjoy everything I can while young there.
- I want a good wife. Though this is difficult to find. Idk about kids yet. But I incline towards not having kids.
- Not getting too old. Around 65 is enough.
- To have the time and energy to spend time on hobbies such as drawing, writing, etc.
- The money to travel to many places of the world.
- A quick death.
