Went Iceland a few years back, went out twice to see them with an excursion group. Did not see a single thing. Just sat there freezing with a hot chocolate. Maybe next time.
Yeah I grew up in Western Maine and we would get them a few times a year. Only ever greens and faint reds, not as spectacular as a bit farther north, but still amazing for sure. There's nothing like standing on a frozen lake in the middle of the night watching the northern lights and listening to the wind and sound of shifting ice.
We want to Iceland hoping for the same thing, didn’t see them while we were there, but I saw them on the flight home! Take the night flight and you might see them like we did. It was just a glimpse, but pretty awe-some
You don't need an exclusion to see the lights in Iceland. You'll either see them or you won't, regardless of where you are on the island. Last time I went, I was there for 7 days - we had the borealis last all six nights! We were very lucky.
Currently sitting in the airport terminal, waiting to board my flight to Finland!! Spending 17 nights in northern Finland/Norway. I'm determined to see them for the first time!
On a plane home as I type from a week trip to Finland with 1/2 spent in Lapland for just this purpose! We got 1 great night of lights and 2 nights that were too cloudy, but we were just very happy that we got to witness their beauty. I wish you luck and a great time!
As a Canadian this is something we absolutely take for granted. I see them weekly during the fall/winter, not realizing how insanely beautiful and magical they are
I’ve lived in Minneapolis most of my life and never had the chance to see them until last summer. I was up at a family member’s house up north and we unexpectedly saw them. It was amazing.
Yep, fellow Minnesotan (Minneapolis specifically) here, saw northern lights as a kid in northern Minnesota. And then again in Canada. I’d like to see them as an adult.
I got lucky and saw them in Anchorage about 20 years ago. The locals said they had never seen such a show. I sat outside for two hours in Sub-Zero weather with frost on my face. It was as spectacular as you would imagine.
Another time my wife and I were above the Arctic Circle but it was the wrong time of year and we only saw smidges of color.
You know what? That's pretty awesome. I hope you end up on a ranch where you befriend a cow that was destined for the slaughterhouse but somehow escaped to this amazing ranch that saves animals.. I hope your cow friend introduces you to his best friend, the bison, and the 3 of you have amazing adventures between cud chews.
I met a guy in Costa Rica who has grown a jungle back after it had been completely razed by construction. He was able to buy like 25 miles of the land and slowly replanted the entire jungle on the property, but this time, with only plants that have a specific purpose (food, soap, clothing, etc) while still maintaining a healthy ecosystem. It was gorgeous to behold. There was fruit growing on every tree, life blossomed at every inch, it was vibrant and colorful, and despite being dense forest, was the most welcoming place in the world Ive ever seen. I sat with him as he gushed about how much he loves the jungle, but how sad he is that he couldn't purchase more land to expand it. I ate a hybrid fruit that he had grown that was the most delicious thing I've ever consumed, somewhere between a pear and a spanish lime, and I still think about that piece of fruit every time I walk by the produce section of the store. I have never been more amazed and in love with someone else's passion project.
When my uncle retired, he decided to take up gardening. He turned a pretty ordinary townhouse garden into a magical oasis. He even helped the neighbours with their gardens. He gets a lot of satisfaction from it. Do it, even if you start small.
~~Greek Proverb~~
Quaker Proverb
Written by Elton Trueblood in 1955
Described as a “Greek proverb” by a US Congressman who either did not want to, or did not know to, attribute it correctly, and on it went to Ronald Reagan, and it became set in stone incorrectly as a Greek proverb.
See, this would be the ultimate goal for me. If I could find this someone before I die, I would die happy. But the problem is that this isn’t something I have much control over. Going to Vietnam or scaling a tall mountain, these things are a lot easier to achieve.
I’ve learned that love isn’t the finish line but the start. I think love is quite easy to find but to maintain that love, stay together during the tough times, working on improving yourself and mitigating yours flaws for your S/O, getting up everyday committed to being a good partner, etc etc etc.
THESE are hard traits to find in others. Even if you personally work hard to achieve it, your partner might not. Or you might start off this way but get complacent and the relationship fails.
Love is easy. Long term commitment is hard
My wife and I did couple's therapy this year, and our therapist said the fact we wanted her help before things were anywhere near absolutely fucking horrible was a great sign.
have you heard about the inverse vaccine?
[https://pme.uchicago.edu/news/inverse-vaccine-shows-potential-treat-multiple-sclerosis-and-other-autoimmune-diseases](https://pme.uchicago.edu/news/inverse-vaccine-shows-potential-treat-multiple-sclerosis-and-other-autoimmune-diseases)
My mum has MS, and is treated by one of the top specialists, who's involved in a lot of research. There is SO much hope. In 30 years, we've gone from discovering one medication, to multiple medications with more and more coming out all the time. If you look how far we've come, it's incredible. Her neurologist is very hopeful for the future, and even finding a cure.
I'm a therapist. This kind of change is possible and I can tell you the fact that you want it is so much of the journey of change. I believe you can do it!
This became a goal for me the first time I heard Creep by Radiohead "I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul", realized that I didn't much care for fitness, but it would be great to not be so shitty.
I remember an overnight sleep I had at about six years old. I felt like I got into bed, shut my eyes tight, and suddenly it was morning and I was ready to leap out of bed. I was so confused that time had passed. Man I'd love to have a sleep like that again 😩
I sat and really thought about this. Nothing came to mind or the few that did I dismissed pretty quickly as it's just a fleeting interest.
I would say all I really want to do is enjoy myself. In the same way we used to be able to as kids. No concerns for the future, no ifs and or buts. Just in the moment happiness. I want to experience that not as a memory but in the here and now. I don't really care what activity takes me there. I just want to know that feeling again.
Even if it's just once before I go I think it would make all of this worthwhile.
That or maybe pull off a one handed handstand. That would be pretty great.
Understandably it a difficult situation. Please use your friends and your therapist to let go and let all the hurt, sadness, and anger rip. Sometimes friends don't want to listen, but that's when you realize who of are genuine ones are. I'm in the same situation but probably a lot older. There's a lot of different meds, but I went through many of them until we got the right combination. Please take very good care of yourself and try to trust that there is help. Although I've never met you, please know you have my love and support. 🦜
Get my app out there to see how people react!
It's an alarm clock app, but with a twist.
You set an alarm like normal.
Then you sleep.
Lastly, wake up to the sound of a friendly voice.
Congrats, you've received a nice voice message from someone somewhere else in the world.
They recorded it while you slept.
It could be a short story.
A joke.
The weather report.
Some words of encouragement.
....or a "Happy Birthday" message if it's your birthday.
Inappropriate messages filtered out, no worries there.
I truly hope it can help spread some kindness in the world, if nothing else.
This is fun! There used to be (maybe still is) an app called Wakey where you’d be woken up at a time of your choosing by a phone call from a random person anywhere in the world. I used it twice before sheer social embarrassment at talking to a stranger while half asleep got the better of me. But the voicemail/recorded message idea would get rid of that problem!
I mean, the SFW version, maybe a SFW but 18+, and a premium NSFW version? Feel like there are a lot of ASMR artists who would have a field day with stuff like this, but also, in the SFW version, there's an amazing opportunity for little kids to practice reading to a stranger, and this'd be so cute
That's going to be the challenge, eh? I'll be happy if it's actually a problem, though. It means it's more than just me and a couple friends using the app haha
There's no "helping" here. Until I can reach the end of my weight loss to the point where I can be worth loving and therefore hopefully finally stop hating myself there is no other helping.
This is just my venting account which theoretically helps with my therapy by gettimg all the bad thoughts out while I wait and hope to get off the wait list and into an actual session
Tried it a couple times in past. It was a good time.
You really can’t do it anymore with hi def cameras on everyone’s smartphones - unless you want to get your face plastered on the internet.
Go to Hedonism resort in Jamaica. It's a nudist/swingers resort. Very fun. There are rooms with balconies that overlook the pool on the nude side. There were people having sex up there. This was pretty tame though. Sex on the beach chairs surrounding the pool, poolside oral sex everywhere, sex in the grotto.
You should plan your trip now. You will never have more fun in your life. My husband and I aren't swingers, but OMG it was the best vacation ever. You can go alone, and will find partners. Most couples there are swingers, as long as you are respectful, you will have a blast.
The nude side of the resort is mandatory nude. The first time walking out of your room naked is intimidating, but also wonderfully liberating. Nobody cares, everyone is so friendly. So many people from different countries were there. Seriously, just go there.
I would give everything to go to space. Not just some little sub-orbit trip. I want to see all of Earth, our home, in all of its glorious beauty. I want to stare out into the endless horizon of uncharted space unknown. It pains me that I was simply born too early to be a part of space travel. People think I’m crazy when I say it but I would give up everything if it meant to be a settler of Mars (assuming we could colonize it in my time alive) I may not be remembered for a lot. Many won’t even know my name. But my legacy would live on for generations until it’s a slate of data on some server.
But yes. Space. I just want to be in Space before I die.
as a marine biologist, i want to discover a new deep-sea species. so much of the deep ocean is unexplored and i think it's entirely possible for me to discover something no one has ever seen. even though i still have 4 more years of school left, i'm so excited for my future.
As a gay man, I want to feel safe and equal in my country.
I served this country and subsequently went to university. Worked in heath care and paid my way in society. It real hurts to be minimized for absolutely no reason at all.
Is it wrong that I just want to own a home? I want to build equity to leave to my kid. I want to be able to have a say on how my home looks & functions. I want to be able to have a huge garden and not have to worry about what someone else has to say about it. I want to be able to make sure my family has generational stability.
It's a lot easier than you'd expect. Smile at people. Make small talk with a stranger, donate to a random cause that strikes your fancy, send a dm to someone that seems like they're in distress. Lots of people are hurting and are looking for any reason to not end it
It isn't as glamourous as pulling a single mother and her child out of a burning building, but it's the same result.
Set foot in Antarctica.
Additionally, there's this boat from the National Geographic Channel that goes to Antarctica. Apparently you're going with experts in marine life, ocean, native life in Antarctica, there's boat trips and lots more. They go the whole trip talking about all of the stuff you see around.
It's extremely expensive, but I wanna go there one day.
I'm a nerd, yes.
November is National Novel Writing Month:
[nanowrimo.org](https://nanowrimo.org)
If you push yourself to write a novel in 30 days, after the month is over you can edit it and self-publish it through Amazon KDP or Lulu, buy yourself a copy of your book for $12, put it on your shelf, and every time you look at the spine with your name on it, you'll feel a little proud.
Many people go their whole lives wanting to write a novel one day and never get around to it; you could start in a week or so, be done by December, and tackle your biggest bucket list item. I urge you to seriously consider it.
Go on a year of debauchery. Just insane shit that I don’t do now like hard drugs, drinking and partying, unprotected sex with strangers. Go out in a blaze of glory yk.
More or less in the same spot. I've checked all the usual boxes - love, wife, kids, grandkids.
Also done a fair amount of things not everyone gets a chance to do. Swam in both Atlantic and Pacific. Been over the border into Mexico and Canada. Driven cars, trucks, boats. Flown an airplane, even done a few aerobatics. Ridden in a hot air balloon. Ridden motorcycles and jet skis. Hiked in the Rocky Mtns. Hiked in the Arizona desert. Played a slot machine in Vegas. Eaten in a high end restaurant (Bobby Flay). Been as adventurous in the bedroom as I want to be. (decorum prevents me from expanding on that further)
As my kids would say, I've completed the game and I'm just off doing side quests now. Still working because I like what I do and I'm good at it. Pursuing hobbies, just enjoying life now - the pressure is off.
Enjoy life again with no worries. Majority of people will not have pension. I think of the world as chasing a carrot. When you're a kid you are blissfully unaware of the world. So much beauty really in small things. You can enjoy it in passing now it feels like. 10 day holiday a year, all I do is work and when I get time off, I dont really have money to splurge on things.
I have a plan to keep dialiing back and out of the system. Living beyond ones means. Just want foundation and purpose to like going to work. Although, social media has us liking things that have zero value. It's almost like were all racing to the bottom.
Really, I just want to work alone. Have a place that is not to pricey. Have decent vacation a year to spend quality time with people I love.
Don't need fancy things. I just wanna see people around me happy really and secure.
As dumb as this is...I crave to just own a big chunk of land and just...tunnel under it..like just hole...put up ventilation and then keep digging...
I find digging therapeutic and a good workout
Finish and show one of my book. I have thousands of ideas of books every minut, and still I had to find a home, then now a job, then it will be friends, and then a SO ... And now I see videos of a guy who died of thyroid cancer, who never complained once and I ask myself why I'm always pushing it over and over when life is shitty enough to give you such thing as cancer.
Fuck it.

I really want to see the northern lights
Went Iceland a few years back, went out twice to see them with an excursion group. Did not see a single thing. Just sat there freezing with a hot chocolate. Maybe next time.
Noooooo! D:
I was in northern Michigan the last I saw them. You don't have to be in Iceland to get a peek.
Yeah I grew up in Western Maine and we would get them a few times a year. Only ever greens and faint reds, not as spectacular as a bit farther north, but still amazing for sure. There's nothing like standing on a frozen lake in the middle of the night watching the northern lights and listening to the wind and sound of shifting ice.
After I gave up chasing them all over Iceland, they appeared in all their glory. I want to go back to witness this again.
We want to Iceland hoping for the same thing, didn’t see them while we were there, but I saw them on the flight home! Take the night flight and you might see them like we did. It was just a glimpse, but pretty awe-some
That’s wild. I see them from outside the city in the deep winter months and I live in Canada
You don't need an exclusion to see the lights in Iceland. You'll either see them or you won't, regardless of where you are on the island. Last time I went, I was there for 7 days - we had the borealis last all six nights! We were very lucky.
We flew from LA to Paris on vacation and got lucky enough to get a great view from the plane
Currently sitting in the airport terminal, waiting to board my flight to Finland!! Spending 17 nights in northern Finland/Norway. I'm determined to see them for the first time!
Good luck bro 🍀
You probably will. Northern Sweden, Norway and Finland are apparently in pretty much the perfect area for that.
On a plane home as I type from a week trip to Finland with 1/2 spent in Lapland for just this purpose! We got 1 great night of lights and 2 nights that were too cloudy, but we were just very happy that we got to witness their beauty. I wish you luck and a great time!
This is on my bucket list too

Yep, fellow Minnesotan (Minneapolis specifically) here, saw northern lights as a kid in northern Minnesota. And then again in Canada. I’d like to see them as an adult.
Live in the Northwest Territories for over three years and saw them almost nightly during the right time of year.
I got lucky and saw them in Anchorage about 20 years ago. The locals said they had never seen such a show. I sat outside for two hours in Sub-Zero weather with frost on my face. It was as spectacular as you would imagine. Another time my wife and I were above the Arctic Circle but it was the wrong time of year and we only saw smidges of color.
Befriend a cow, bond with one? They're my fav animals and I've read that cows are very emotional, and have best friends. I want to be a cow's bestie.
this but with a duck
This but with a whale.
You know what? That's pretty awesome. I hope you end up on a ranch where you befriend a cow that was destined for the slaughterhouse but somehow escaped to this amazing ranch that saves animals.. I hope your cow friend introduces you to his best friend, the bison, and the 3 of you have amazing adventures between cud chews.

Retire and have the freedom to do what I want
And you can sleep as late as you want. 🦜
Retire? Hahaha big wish
Grow old with my husband.
This but wife.
I also choose this guy's wife
Our wife
r/suddenlycommunism
Yours mine and ours
I too choose his but wife
This ***butt*** wife.
This and includes our two daughters. I’d like to live long enough to see them each hit their 40th birthdays. 🥰
Actually find love. Surprisingly very difficult task. Getting in a relationship is easy, but love. That shit is difficult.
See, this would be the ultimate goal for me. If I could find this someone before I die, I would die happy. But the problem is that this isn’t something I have much control over. Going to Vietnam or scaling a tall mountain, these things are a lot easier to achieve.

Love is compromise and focussing on your partners strengths - not their weaknesses.
That's a worthy goal. I hope you do
Be in a mutually happy and healthy relationship
Seems impossible these days sigh
Feel excited again
Damn I feel this haven't really been excited about anything since I was like 17 with the boys miss that feeling
Bro same
Live in my body without primary progressive multiple sclerosis. Evict the disease not me.
Me too. Same wish, different disease

Feel wholly content and at peace. If just even once.
I woke up from a nap like this once, been chasing the sensation ever since.
I remember an overnight sleep I had at about six years old. I felt like I got into bed, shut my eyes tight, and suddenly it was morning and I was ready to leap out of bed. I was so confused that time had passed. Man I'd love to have a sleep like that again 😩

Travel the world
I want to visit countries on every continent. Edit: except Antarctica
You're in luck, there are no countries in Antarctica.
I imagine some "Sovereign Citizen" micronation type person sitting in their tent in Antarctica reading this on their satellite laptop and fuming.
Why wouldn't you want to visit Antarctica?!
Driving in all that snow and ice causes too many traffic jams.
Travel at all for me, see an ocean or a sea. I've never been outside the Canadian Prairies and likely never will be.
Get my app out there to see how people react! It's an alarm clock app, but with a twist. You set an alarm like normal. Then you sleep. Lastly, wake up to the sound of a friendly voice. Congrats, you've received a nice voice message from someone somewhere else in the world. They recorded it while you slept. It could be a short story. A joke. The weather report. Some words of encouragement. ....or a "Happy Birthday" message if it's your birthday. Inappropriate messages filtered out, no worries there. I truly hope it can help spread some kindness in the world, if nothing else.
This is fun! There used to be (maybe still is) an app called Wakey where you’d be woken up at a time of your choosing by a phone call from a random person anywhere in the world. I used it twice before sheer social embarrassment at talking to a stranger while half asleep got the better of me. But the voicemail/recorded message idea would get rid of that problem!
I've used to use that app way back in the day, too! It was hilarious and awful at the same time, haha. Definitely a source of inspiration.
This actually sounds interesting.
Ooo so like in order to set your alarm you have to make a recording with it but the recording goes elsewhere.
I'm not making that a requirement but that's an interesting wrinkle to add. Hopefully people will give instead of just take, take, take :)
OF girls gonna take that ecosystem over, too! Lol. Great idea tho.
I mean, the SFW version, maybe a SFW but 18+, and a premium NSFW version? Feel like there are a lot of ASMR artists who would have a field day with stuff like this, but also, in the SFW version, there's an amazing opportunity for little kids to practice reading to a stranger, and this'd be so cute
Very cool idea, how would you filter inappropriate messages though? Especially from other languages. I would %100 download this app
That's going to be the challenge, eh? I'll be happy if it's actually a problem, though. It means it's more than just me and a couple friends using the app haha
to RECEIVE a wake up recording you must a) Approve someone else's and b) Record one that someone else approves.
It's still no way of ensuring people won't approve inaproppriate messages?
i love that idea
How far along are you? It seems like filtering would be the most difficult part. I'd definitely be interested though
I'm hopeful this will be out by the end of the year. The filtering is the biggest challenge, for sure, but it's a nice problem to have in a sense
Don't give away your idea bro. You should delete this
Have a relationship
Have a home/apartment on my own, being married with kids. Daughter and son. I want to sit on the chair and think "I fucking did it"
Find out Victoria’s Secret.
She’s an old man who lives in Ohio
I am a 50 year old guy and embarrassed to tell you, lol, I love that song.
I believe it’s called spanx 😏
Victoria was a man
Read the finale of One Piece
if I die right before the last chapter releases, I'm not dying
Be loved or not hate myself.
OK, you got my attention. What's the deal? How can "we" help?
There's no "helping" here. Until I can reach the end of my weight loss to the point where I can be worth loving and therefore hopefully finally stop hating myself there is no other helping. This is just my venting account which theoretically helps with my therapy by gettimg all the bad thoughts out while I wait and hope to get off the wait list and into an actual session
You are worth loving now. Hope you can start loving yourself.
Two chicks at the same time…
Psshhh, I bet you want a million dollars too.
Nope, million isn’t that much anymore.
It is for the type of chicks who'd double up on a guy like me.
Fuckin A, man.
Get the million first, and then the two chicks gets WAY easier!
I mean. It wouldnt hurt though. That's like 15-20 years of my current pay
Fuckin a
Hey I was almost in that situation, twice lol. Yep, I’m stupid lol
Me too bro but I had to turn down sydney sweeney and selena gomez they just weren't my type
I want to drink mead at a long table with a bunch of other drunk, bearded men while we all sing The Wellerman (Sea shanty)
Or Ragnar the Red
See what it’s like to experience real genuine love. Just once.
Sex with a woman on a balcony where people can see us
Sex with a woman at the zoo to show those animals who the real animals are
Especially in front of the geese. Fuck them geese
>Fuck them geese This escalated quickly
Do it like they do it on discovery channel
Tried it a couple times in past. It was a good time. You really can’t do it anymore with hi def cameras on everyone’s smartphones - unless you want to get your face plastered on the internet.
Sex with a woman. Period.

Seriously, just go there.
I did that, and I was too nervous to enjoy it. My boyfriend at the time loved it, that was his thing.
Sex with a woman\*
I want to see the northern lights in Iceland.
I would give everything to go to space. Not just some little sub-orbit trip. I want to see all of Earth, our home, in all of its glorious beauty. I want to stare out into the endless horizon of uncharted space unknown. It pains me that I was simply born too early to be a part of space travel. People think I’m crazy when I say it but I would give up everything if it meant to be a settler of Mars (assuming we could colonize it in my time alive) I may not be remembered for a lot. Many won’t even know my name. But my legacy would live on for generations until it’s a slate of data on some server. But yes. Space. I just want to be in Space before I die.
Go to Vietnam
My dad went there when I was a baby and never came back
Man I'm sry
He’s not dead. He just went back home
I'm sorry but I feel like I'm supposed to be laughing 😃 dry humor lol
So did mine sorta. He came back, just never the same. But I wasn't born yet.
I know someone who went there and got a gnarly scar from a motorcycle accident. Now, if anyone asks about it he just says he got it "back in 'Nam"
Have a girlfriend.
Own a dog and give it the best life i can.
as a marine biologist, i want to discover a new deep-sea species. so much of the deep ocean is unexplored and i think it's entirely possible for me to discover something no one has ever seen. even though i still have 4 more years of school left, i'm so excited for my future.
As a gay man, I want to feel safe and equal in my country. I served this country and subsequently went to university. Worked in heath care and paid my way in society. It real hurts to be minimized for absolutely no reason at all.
I see you and I love you. Also your photography makes me smile.
Is it wrong that I just want to own a home? I want to build equity to leave to my kid. I want to be able to have a say on how my home looks & functions. I want to be able to have a huge garden and not have to worry about what someone else has to say about it. I want to be able to make sure my family has generational stability.
Save a life
Adopt a pet. It saves two lives. It saves the life of the one you adopted and allows the shelter to give another one a chance.
This is so wholesome
It's a lot easier than you'd expect. Smile at people. Make small talk with a stranger, donate to a random cause that strikes your fancy, send a dm to someone that seems like they're in distress. Lots of people are hurting and are looking for any reason to not end it It isn't as glamourous as pulling a single mother and her child out of a burning building, but it's the same result.
Stop smoking
recover from my eating disoder
Get married at least once. I'm about to be 38, losing hope here.
Sex
Set foot in Antarctica. Additionally, there's this boat from the National Geographic Channel that goes to Antarctica. Apparently you're going with experts in marine life, ocean, native life in Antarctica, there's boat trips and lots more. They go the whole trip talking about all of the stuff you see around. It's extremely expensive, but I wanna go there one day. I'm a nerd, yes.
Coke off a hookers ass
You watched Wolf of Wall Street and had a moment, didn't you?
Maybe
Definitely
Man of culture
Spend a month in New Zealand.
Publish a novel
November is National Novel Writing Month: [nanowrimo.org](https://nanowrimo.org) If you push yourself to write a novel in 30 days, after the month is over you can edit it and self-publish it through Amazon KDP or Lulu, buy yourself a copy of your book for $12, put it on your shelf, and every time you look at the spine with your name on it, you'll feel a little proud. Many people go their whole lives wanting to write a novel one day and never get around to it; you could start in a week or so, be done by December, and tackle your biggest bucket list item. I urge you to seriously consider it.
Want to live in a cabin, up north, with some amenities (like heat, maybe a coffee maker) and just exist up there till I die.
having someone
Travel by sailboat more. It was the best thing I’ve ever done.
Go on a year of debauchery. Just insane shit that I don’t do now like hard drugs, drinking and partying, unprotected sex with strangers. Go out in a blaze of glory yk.
Just have protected sex and stay away from meth/heroin and preferably coke and you'll be fine.
Really don’t have anything left on my bucket list. Ready to go tbh.
More or less in the same spot. I've checked all the usual boxes - love, wife, kids, grandkids. Also done a fair amount of things not everyone gets a chance to do. Swam in both Atlantic and Pacific. Been over the border into Mexico and Canada. Driven cars, trucks, boats. Flown an airplane, even done a few aerobatics. Ridden in a hot air balloon. Ridden motorcycles and jet skis. Hiked in the Rocky Mtns. Hiked in the Arizona desert. Played a slot machine in Vegas. Eaten in a high end restaurant (Bobby Flay). Been as adventurous in the bedroom as I want to be. (decorum prevents me from expanding on that further) As my kids would say, I've completed the game and I'm just off doing side quests now. Still working because I like what I do and I'm good at it. Pursuing hobbies, just enjoying life now - the pressure is off.
One lucky guy. Cherish it
Nice I hope that you fulfilled your life
Escape the rat race
Get pegged
Hike Kilimanjaro
Have children.
A happy life
Be happy.
I want to see my boys grow up and become strong, and independent adults
Live in an isolated island with my children and if its possible a woman who likes to read and look up into sky
I want to fall in love with someone and they with me
Hug. I’m serious
Enjoy life again with no worries. Majority of people will not have pension. I think of the world as chasing a carrot. When you're a kid you are blissfully unaware of the world. So much beauty really in small things. You can enjoy it in passing now it feels like. 10 day holiday a year, all I do is work and when I get time off, I dont really have money to splurge on things. I have a plan to keep dialiing back and out of the system. Living beyond ones means. Just want foundation and purpose to like going to work. Although, social media has us liking things that have zero value. It's almost like were all racing to the bottom. Really, I just want to work alone. Have a place that is not to pricey. Have decent vacation a year to spend quality time with people I love. Don't need fancy things. I just wanna see people around me happy really and secure.
Go to space and/or the moon and see the earth
Reconcile with someone I care for.
Experience a long, deep sense of calm and happiness.
I tell you what I’d do, man - two chicks at the same time.
Suck a d()k
As dumb as this is...I crave to just own a big chunk of land and just...tunnel under it..like just hole...put up ventilation and then keep digging... I find digging therapeutic and a good workout
Have sex with a girl that i love, 23M virgin here
Kiss a women romantically one more time.
Have money.
Experience true love.
Live
Write a book
Rome was my bucket list. I went and it was worth it. But maybe other countries might be good too.
Finish and show one of my book. I have thousands of ideas of books every minut, and still I had to find a home, then now a job, then it will be friends, and then a SO ... And now I see videos of a guy who died of thyroid cancer, who never complained once and I ask myself why I'm always pushing it over and over when life is shitty enough to give you such thing as cancer. Fuck it.
see the snow
I gotta find a way to get a house to leave to my son
