Just enough money to pay off my car, my credit card, and give me 1 year (if that, id probably spend half the time recovering from traveling) to travel and see where I want to go in life.

Edit: funny, now that I'm thinking about it there's that venn diagram joke: Money, time, and Energy. Each stage of your life you get two.

I have no energy, not a lot of money, and plenty of time (except ADHD time blindness so it doesn't do me any fucking good.)

Would you settle for being a woman?

[–] bi_tux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I could try, but I'm not a woman, I'm not even on hrt yet, I'll start diy as soon as my package arrives, but even then I'll never pass. And it's all my fault, I knew it since I was 13, but didn't do anything about it, cuz I'm a fucking retard or something. everything in my live is just dark-gray and the only way to brigthen it up are drugs...

anyway, how was your day?

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If you can get professionals involved that would probably be safer than doing anything DIY. Even just one appointment to discuss it with someone.

Less stress. Less worry. More time free to recuperate and enjoy things.

I feel this one bud ❤️ its manageable condition, don't give up hope, and remember that no human has perfect perception

The exact amount of money I have in debts at the moment.

If I was 100% debt free I could work 3-4 days a week with the same amount of money left as with debts.

This would reduce stress and give me more time and energy to improve myself

A choice to be? (If only it were that simple.)

Too vague to sus out what's going on wit you. I guess I just hope you continue to chose to be.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Since hitting my 30s I've started getting really invested in middle aged man shit like sports and history podcasts. It's a cliche and basic in its own way but I'm genuinely surprised by the amount of joy these relatively simple things are bringing me. Especially when I could not have been less interested in sports as a youngster.

Having no needs that anyone else can leverage against me.

[–] BlindFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

A job that: I'd love, is at a desk, pays well, is project based, asks me to set my own goals, holds me accountable, makes me feel like I'm contributing something positive for other people.

Right now, I would feel more fulfilled in life with something like that.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone who occasionally makes me feel special. It'd be nice to feel special all the time, but I think that's unrealistic. It'd be nice if I could feel special or important on a semi regular basis. Not just useful, like a wrench is useful, but treasured.

The older I get, the more I understand the "lone old man and his dog" stereotype. The dog thinks you're great and everyone else just sees you like a machine that is disposable when they're done with you.

Mentoring is the fast track to feeling useful. It takes a bit of humility. No one wants to learn from someone who is intolerabley self righteous, but passing on knowledge will always be rewarding.

Good w/ cheese. So I hear.

Not having to go into the office. I like my job.

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

the only thing that could "make" me happy is a change in mindset, perhaps forced by brain damage.

as far as how I will make my own happiness, it comes down to making choices informed by my own values, painstakingly discovered through mistakes, introspection, and connections with others

Relief of stress, which is currently made by lack of money. So money, I guess. I think in smaller terms this chocolate chip banana bread will make me short term happy though.

[–] bear@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 year ago

Space and time away from everything, fresh air, sunlight, some peace and quiet, a slower and simpler way of life.
