To enjoy myself. What exactly that means, changes over time.

Personally, I indulge my wanderlust and love of good food.

It doesn't feel like you're living a clichΓ©? "Food and travel"?

[–] Alfenstein@lemmy.ml 1 points 12 minutes ago

Nothing wrong with living a clichΓ©

Remarkable. Why do you think it's you that should do that?

My purpose in life is to produce poop and pee. I work hard so that I can afford food and water so that I can eventually poo and pee. I have an urge to reproduce so that my children can also poop and pee.

Why would you wish that upon them?

[–] nicomachus@programming.dev 1 points 36 minutes ago (1 children)

There's nothing better then a good poop.

Currently just trying to be a girl, be kind, and trying to help the people around me.

I've sadly always experienced that answer as recursion without an end. "Turtles all the way down" malarkey.

To "live", and by "live" I mean experience and creat Art. I don't need more nor less.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

If I made it with honesty and care, it may not change the world, but it surely changes the people who will do it.

[–] iii@mander.xyz 4 points 3 hours ago

Any hope that your art will change the world?

[–] finderscult@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago

To see the end of humanity. Luckily I don't have much longer to wait.
