Financial freedom
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.
Ugh, how to tell a depressed dog person I want three cute catgirl girlfriends…
Dopamine and serotonin.
being a cis woman
Would you settle for being a woman?
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?
If you can get professionals involved that would probably be safer than doing anything DIY. Even just one appointment to discuss it with someone.
Wish I could support you better. I don’t think it’s the end of the world whether or not you pass. As we’ve seen lately in the media, it actually might make you feel more like a woman having people question the nature of your body.
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
Or you could rub a cats bellllly?
Life stability and security. If all of my bills and debts were taken care of, I would be happy. I love my job as a welder and enjoy what I do. I look forward to the new work week on Monday morning.
I would continue working as a welder, even if I didn’t have to worry about money and bills.
I too wish for the Star Trek Universe.
You wouldn’t mind toiling for gold-pressed latinum?
Never needing to work again and actually having energy to do things would probably do the trick.
It helps, but then you have to supplant your own meaning life, or one can very quickly spiral into doing nothing and becoming depressed. Capitalism sucks, but work doesn’t; it gives us direction and purpose.
My friend, I assume, and I find plenty of meaning in accomplishing simple tasks and finding interesting ways to express ourselves. No labor needed. Only little rabbit holes to constantly fall into.
Edit: btw I don’t approve of all the downvotes you got. A lot of meaning can be found in, exhausting, intense, hard work. Most of that is stripped away by being forced to do it, though.
A universal move towards a less judgemental and more empathetic society.
this might sound cliché, but what if the start of non-judgment is within yourself? you’ve already judged society to be too judgmental!
I dont mean to play tricks with you. this is the central struggle of having a mind. we constantly evaluate everything!
Indeed, it’s something I think about quite a bit. The conclusion I’ve come to involves consent: If all people involved in something fully understand and consent to what is happening, then they should not be “judged” for it.
And yes, I know there are holes and loopholes in that conclusion, but I think it’s nearly impossible to have a logically sound and consistent moral framework.
Thanks for the response!
If all people involved in something fully understand and consent to what is happening, then they should not be “judged” for it.
Here’s the thing: this statement still hasn’t entered into non-judgment itself. When you use the word “should” you’re already holding one thing higher than the other. And again, this is natural for us to want to do! But who is consenting to this moral framework in the first place?
That’s more than a loophole or caveat – it’s a limitation of all judgment. Judgments don’t exist in the world; they are passed by judging creatures. So the only way to find a world without judgment is to, at the very least, practice separating yourself from your own judgments. Seeing the world for what it is, we can pause in our concern for what ought to be.
Full ride scholarship
Monkey paw time. Full ride scholarship but it’s to trump university.
You know what, id stick it out for a little bit just to raise some hell. Probably wouldn’t make it long, but it’d be fun while it lasted
If I could turn back time.
If I could find a way
