What do you want? The me of 10 years ago had some ideas. →[More:]

Amazing how things and times change. I asked myself what I want today, and I coudn't think of anything. But at least I didn't write any angsty post-teen beat poetry? Is that a win?

What. Do you. Want? Tempt yourself.

Basically I want to do stuff and create stuff that'll make other people happy in some way. And make other dogs happy too.

A room near downtown Seattle for me and my cat with wifi, a big table and a good office chair.

I want to work 40 hours a week, doesn't matter what days. I'm currently working 7 days a week, & have been since January. Great to have the business, but I really need a better life balance that has more room for what Firas' said.

Or I guess you could make it even shorter and say I want to matter.

I do okay for creature comforts. I'd just like some company.

Me too!

Okay, Wolfdog's short version said it for me: I want to matter. I want to be valued/appreciated/found worthy.

A vacation...and for things to slow down a little in general.

I was just looking for myself to be mentioned.

Deep, dream laden, lasting sleep. Especially right now. I should really blow off class for once. Goddammit.

And an antiapathy ray gun.

You could shoot me with that ray gun. But I wouldn't care.

Oh, my.

I want more to do, and I want to do more.

I want to write better, I want to write more. Happily, doing the second should help with the first.

I want a day without pain. Let's not kid around, I want a life without chronic pain, but a day would be a start.

I want my old strength back and I will get it.

I want to be better at expressing my love and I will do it.
