Getting rid of 35kg of fat.

Long term, low intencity depression doesn't make it easy though.

In the US: Universal healthcare. Having kids and having to think about healthcare even when we're not sick or injured is such a mental drain.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You're missing the point. I already do something like that. I'm very useful to those around me. I just wish people liked me whether I'm useful or not, and made it obvious. I feel like if I stopped being useful, then people would stop liking me.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks 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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Having no needs that anyone else can leverage against me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That is the million dollar question, isn't it...
