what's your ideal life like, fs? traveling the world? full of excitement? quiet on a farm? fame? fortune? mundanity?

My ideal life?

For ten days out of the month a tall, dark and handsome man takes me to a new country. This replaces my period. The rest of the time I spend in a fabulous city, writing best sellers under a pen name.

Quiet and free of stress and responsibility. I'll pass on the excitement if I can have peaceful contentment in exchange for no surprises. I don't want more than I need to sustain a reasonable standard of living and would have no need for fortune or glamor.

+ a cat.

Ideal life: I have a job and can support myself. I have enough money to pay bills and buy food. I always have extra money to see a movie and go out to eat a couple times a month. I even have enough to pay off a little of my student loans throughout the month. I have friends who always text me back, and they live nearby. Once a year, I get to visit my family in other parts of the country. Sometimes I get to go to Europe. I also have a dog that loves to cuddle, and Netflix never buffers.

I'm ...kind of already living the way I want to.

My ideal life would involve changing the rest of the world rather than how I'm living. Less strife, less population, more focus on environment, more conservation...

Those are pipe dreams maybe, but they're nice ones.

Ideally, space travel. A nice, big spaceship, handful of beings I can tolerate. Would only set foot on earth again to bury relatives.

Like, super dream? Enough fortune to buy myself a house, pay my loans, then take a awesome trip once a year.

Realistic dream? I'd love to live in Washington DC. I fell in love with it when I visited this year and am already planning another trip to visit because I loved it so much.

Well, you know that book Anathem

Quiet, occasional travel, lots of theatre, museums, zoos. Time and money to garden, cook, read, write, and make costumes. Financially secure without having to struggle. Space enough for craft supplies, books, critters, and a big garden. A few friends and a spouse with a big family to cook for. I dunno, maybe kids if the spouse or their family had a lot of experience with them; I'm an only child not only of my parents but of my entire family, no cousins or anything, so I have no practice with them, and wouldn't want to fuck up growing and training new little humans. I'd rather have riches than fame, and mundanity than excitement.
