What do you really want in life?

Stability, man. Forget excess. Forget riches and vacations and houses. I just want to be able to pay my rent with enough left over for all the bills and to put a little in savings.

Stability and affection.

Financial independence. Edit: Security. A job that will always pay the right amount for me to survive. I just want a quiet and simple life.

At the moment? My mother's lung cancer to go away. The answer you actually wanted: To get a job and contribute enough to society so I can feel something like accomplished when I die.

Peace, In my life and for everyone else too.

Just to be able to have the sense that the world is more good than bad.

To not be depressed and suicidal.

Romance, financial security, and free time.

Mental health issues to be GONE….trauma HEALED I just want to be able to enjoy my life without the c*** that goes on in my brain sometimes. Im happier than ive ever been, but i just want it to stop draining me so badly

To be happy and make the little me proud

A house (as opposed to a condo) and retirement.

A hundred billion dollars!

pedos in jail <3

Live in the middle of nowhere where I would have less interactions with humans

just a house with good shower pressure and windows that catch the sunset. lowkey thats doing heavy lifting for my peace. also nobody textin me before noon.

Stability, safety, and comfort is all I need in life

Just a family of my own. Legit thats really it. Wife, kids, you know the drill lol

My health back...covid ruined me

Be financially independent and retire. I hate working and worrying about money. I try to save and invest almost everything so that it can happen one day.

I don’t really care about being rich. Just having enough time and money to be able to do the things I want with my family. I haven’t been on more than just an overnight camping trip in years because I can’t afford to travel at all. 

Spent my first 25 years as a kid figuring things out. Spent my second 25 as an adult working my ass off doing the most boring shit. In my next 25 I want to have the interesting life I've dreamed of and worked so hard for, with adventure and freedom.

Happiness. No stress. Good friends. A healthy family.

A home and financial security.

Stability. Enough money to get by, and enough time to see my friends between work. I used to make 6 figured in IT right before the layoffs hit and the industry tanked. Now I am scrambling from job to job. On paper if my resume were just the jobs from the last two years, I would look incredibly untrustworthy and unstable. I just want my next forever job, but nothing I get offered matches my education or goals.

Joy, peace, connection. Everything else is just people chasing those in more complicated ways.

Sex, movies, TV, non- HFC food, snacks, some alcohol occasionally, weed, the abilities to have a guaranteed job for just the next decade or so and then to be finally done with needing to work, and a bit more travel, but nothing crazy.

A leftist/progressive revolution

A big b**** bad b**** that let's me suck on her titties

I just want security. I want to make enough to pay the bills and feed my wife and son.

In this life, the only thing I can't give myself is the love, safety and security, and support a partner can give. So, it is the only thing of value to me in the human world.

Peace, less chaos. To watch my children hopefully grow up to be the adults I am raising them to be.

I want my own house, preferably away from everyone. I don't want to hear strangers through the walls, I dont want to hear f****** children screaming in the stairways, I dont want to meet anyone that I did not invite to said house. Also, enough money so that none of my loved ones need to work a day more, unless we want to.

world peace, an end to animal cruelty everywhere, and friends would be nice. not acquaintances, real friends.

live forever

I want to be successful and stable so that I can have a good future but most importantly have the right partner to have the right kids with so I can be a better father

lots of cash - unlimited supply

I’d like to raise my daughter to be a happy productive member of society. To eventually sail around the world and die happy

A happy and healthy life for my wife and daughter.

For my children to be happy and successful.

To not be stressed. So far so good.

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women. But I'd settle for money

A nice sweet husband. Why is that sooooo hard to find nowadays. I’m sure in the 1960s I would be married by now

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Financial freedom and independence

Peace

Agency.

Good health, happiness family

To be genuinely happy and stable.

Money and freedom, hate working 60 hour weeks.

To not work for a company that sucks my soul out on a daily basis

Real Love and financial freedom

More self loving and a stress free life.

A peaceful life and good relationships with my adult sons. For my granddaughter, I want her to always know that she is loved no matter what and that self-love and self-care are OK.

Peace and stability.

To spend time with my kids and not have to work for a living. That's it. 

For my kids to always be healthy and happy! Selfishly, I’d also like an engagement ring from my boyfriend.

A woman to love who loves me

A partner that respects me as a human being to share this life with. If they have spectacular, clean sex, that would be welcomed!

Just want to be able to afford to live comfortably, with a solid support system and someone who loves me like I love them. I dont need to be happy I just need to be okay mentally Don't think any of that is happening for me at this point unfortunately

Two chicks at the same time

I was gonna say to not be in pain. but now I want listnook pages to not stop loading at 98%.

To be at peace with it.

A quiet life where I can see my friends, live modestly and do what I want instead of what I have to. Retirement

Friendship, security, beer.

The chance to prove that money CAN make me happy

kind of bold of you to think a person who knows what he really wants will waste his time and reply a question in listnook

The extinction of boredom

Happiness and comfort. Emotional comfort that things are gonna be okay no matter what

Peace and a purpose

Peace.

I want a nice older guy who can take care of me

Quiet comfort and the freedom to do what I want with it.

I have absolutely no idea

A functional mind

Change. Make the world a tiny but measurably better place somehow

Peace and quiet.

Stability and peace

To die in my sleep in my early/mid eighties.

I want to live forever, like witnessing the heat death of the universe forever. Ill settle for being able to control my mental health and financial stability tho.

Stability and to be able to say I made a positive impact in people’s lives. Making them smile on bad days, making them cry with laughter on good days. I don’t want my legacy to be about money but the lives and souls I’ve touched

Peace

Happiness.

I want success and stability life for my parents

money

I want to not worry about paying my bill on time every month

Peace and stability. Now that my divorce is final, I just want to enjoy life

A comfortable but simple retirement where I am moderately active and see people I love.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women

To be happy and feel content

An end to the pressures that white supremacist capitalist patriarchy puts on me and the people I care about.

people to care

To not feel like I'm dying on a daily basis. Just got test results back yesterday. Everything looks normal, just like always. At this point, I'd be happy just know *why* I feel like I'm dying every day.

To be free of depression, or to have it managed.

Financial stability and one uninterrupted good night of sleep.

The l****** win promised to me like 3 years ago from a fortune cookie.

1: A meaningful job, that I'm good at. 2: Some good friends to team up with, to make life easier. 3: An awesome, geeky guy, who wants to be my partner in crime.

For my fellow countrymen to be less stupid and evil. MAGA has ruined this country and possibly the planet depending on how much damage Trump does by the end(?) of his term. We will never care about each other as neighbors as long as half the country is as selfish and hateful as they are, and the republicans who control the rubes who vote for them know that. Billionaires have class consciousness, the rubes don't.

To feel safe

A world where everyone is free to be themselves in peace, without the goverment and corporations trying to ruin our beautiful home for profit and control

Honestly? I want a secure, reasonable home with decent storage and an office... if I'm deeply honest, I want a 3-bedroom townhouse with people who handle the lawn and outdoor shit for me... and at least space for 3 cars; mine, my partner's and at least 1 guest. I'd like it in a place with accessible amenities; parks, trails, forests, creative communities and nearby highways in important directions. I want to be as far away from "boater brain" lifestyles or petrol-brained toys like atvs or any of those things with engines. I really don't even care to know people in those communities. I'm much more into socializing with people in human crowds rather than fuel-injected materialism. I don't mind bringing my camera in and celebrating other people enjoying those things. I just don't care to know anything about engines. As far as partners? I'd love a creative, childfree, expressive and curiously intelligent partner who enjoys Ren Faires, conventions, dressing up and wearing costumes and cosplays for such events and may even just want to wear costumes in daily life. I'd like her to take charge of our social life and be extraverted and bit exibitionistic. I'm a photographer and I hope she's equally enthusiastic about lenses, lights, props, costumes and modeling and shooting. Creative reciprocity in mutual passion. From this framework... I just want to feel valued, appreciated, challenged and connected with people. I want to live a collaborative life. I want to make meaning out of moments and share them. I want to feel alive and experience more of the world than I'd ever thought to... and try to experience as much of it as I've ever wanted to. I want a reasonable, fuel-efficient and reliable vehicle like a Toyota Prius or at most, a small SUV like a Jeep if they ever get their fuel consumption down. I want to give more than I take and avoid fueling too much of capitalism or meaningless mechanical function like bare lawns, pesticides, social isolations and selfish consumer mentalities that create "the place to be" so they don't expand to see others. I don't want to build a resourced fortress. I want to make a safe place to leave that I don't mind staying in for a while. I want to share that space and mentality with someone I love and our shared community. I want to make love, get k****, feel connected and respected and stay in therapy to heal and feel secure in myself. I want to prioritize human connection over ownership of objects but I want to own whatever objects let me connect with people where they are at their most authentic.

To not work, cook, do laundry, bleed every month.

Please God , being kind and. Helpful to the people, environment and world , get to heaven

Peace of mind Thats why i dont have any kind of lofty goals and ambitions, just enough to get by and enjoys my hobby

To know God and love Him

Peace

Hey, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here and thanks a ton for following back. I pray Heavenly God remove any laziness or procrastination from your mind and body. Push you to your full potential, I pray He bring peace to your confusion, joy to your sadness, and hope to your heart. I pray He End anything in your life that’s not for your life. I pray He The Lord, protect the path you on and don’t let you quit for nothing. I pray He calm your mind, heal your heart, and take your worries away. Big love from Gambia it’s a pleasure meeting you ❤️ 🙏✝️

her....

I want to feel safe and stable.

A stable life, not rich and not poor. Have a good health and a long life.

A good sleep schedule

Peace in the Middle East.

B**** in my dms mostly 

To see the right thing being done.

Comfort and stability. And time to play videogames

Reality match the reality in my head with friends, co workers, tasks, how others view me vs viewing myself...there's such a social and mental disconnect between the two.

Love and financial stability. Just romantic love is enough. I have a girlfriend, and we’ve talked about how we don’t want kids. As for financial stability (not having kids helps with this), I don’t even wanna be rich. I want to be able to travel, fund my hobbies, pay off my student loans, and maybe have a small personal movie room in my home, but that’s about it. If I’m able to help my family pay off their debts, even better.

Real caring friends

I want what most rational people in the US right now want. Ya know?

not wanting to be judged constantly even the little things in life...I just want to sleep

It's difficult to really choose one in the end. Even if you were to say wealth, security, stability, and happiness, there's always something else to think about later on. In the end it's trying to live a decent life, trying to live in happiness, trying to find purpose and more in your life that's worth living for. What you want most in life is always changing but what I want is the knowledge of finding ways to achieve all these things without pushing myself to the limits and knowing that each one is a possibility.

I only have one true bucket list item left. Otherwise, peace.

The same amount of knowledge i have now, if not more knowledge and insight and intelligence, the financial ability to do whatever i want. and a k**** guy to do it with.

To be happy.

Basically comforts. Don’t have to be rich. Just be able to have vacations and a home that’s paid off.

Stability and Healthcare for everyone.

To be a good person, to make up for my past, to live a life where I am not constantly overthinking, to not be replaying the past over and over in my head, to be calm and contempt and not in a rush, to be able to just sit down and not have a thought in my mind. I just want to be a good person that is able to love himself not just others, I am struggling with this but I have faith and hope that I'm on the right track to making a change

House. Family. Friends. Retirement. Experiences with family and friends.

To live comfortably and be left alone with the people I care about

To finish residency as a doctor :cries:

Peace. Not even happiness all the time. Just peace

Freedom

More time with the people I love.

Health, family and enough money to travel the world 5 times a year...That's it.

Just to enjoy it, which I've been pretty successful at. I was just as happy living in a van in my 20s as I am living in a nice house with my wife at 50. I don't need much, because I know that those things aren't the source of happiness :)

A house. I’m on SSDI and I’m 31. I don’t want to live in one of the big cities, I prefer rural or sub rural. Sadly, that does not seem to be the case.

Someone to care and enjoy being together. Im horrible with people and social settings, probably on the spectrum but f*** i just really want a person to spend life.

Freedom. Not formal freedom granted by law, material freedom to choose how to spent my days. 

I just want to enjoy life.
