To spend time with the people I love.
I used to be flourishing as an artist. Now I'm just trying to not end up in a camp within the next 4+ years
ideally producing scientific research and art but in practice I'm just trying to minimize my own suffering :/
Find out who I really am
I don't know.
It's to overcome challenges and become a better person. To not live like an animal, to have morals, strength of character, treat others well, help other people.
Basically the opposite of what the TV and social media is telling us.
Is it?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.
Correct the mistakes of my ancestors.
Can you elaborate on what mistakes they did?
Inventing Java.
Remarkable. Why do you think it's you that should do that?
Who else will?
Your descendants, hopefully.
...to do my best, to do my duty to God and my country, to be square, and to obey the law of the pack.
Pretending that working my ass off to make a ton of money (not for the sake of it, but because I donβt want to work my entire life) will eventually pay off.
To enjoy the world and minimize how much I prevent others from enjoying it as well.
How do you do the first?
Personally, I indulge my wanderlust and love of good food.
It doesn't feel like you're living a clichΓ©? "Food and travel"?
I don't give a shit. It's fun as hell and I get to cook wonderful food for the ones I love.
Nothing wrong with living a clichΓ©
To work for some asshole and make just enough money to get by.
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?
There's nothing better then a good poop.
It's a solved problem: metamucil.
Every poop good, good poop is no longer special.
Opens amazon tab
To enjoy myself. What exactly that means, changes over time.
To reduce human suffering by some degree, even if it's insignificant in the big picture.
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 end it peacefully
I'm just here to raise entropy.
Nothing!
curiosity
To "live", and by "live" I mean experience and creat Art. I don't need more nor less.
Any hope that your art will change the world?
If I made it with honesty and care, it may not change the world, but it surely changes the people who will do it.
To see the end of humanity. Luckily I don't have much longer to wait.
I have lots and lots and lots of dreams.. And lots of issues
