I want my wife's suicidal depression and anxiety to get better. She has had both since she was 6 years old, and no medication has ever worked, and her anxiety is so bad that she can't get anything worthwhile out of therapy.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Thank you for your love for her.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 17 points 3 months ago

Someone who accepts me unconditionally and who I can trust fully. Someone who I can be my true self around and not worry about judgement.

To be flexible enough to suck my own dick

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You can train that, you just gonna keep at it. In two years you'll be able to suck your own dick.

[–] androogee@midwest.social 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is highly depending on certain factors.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 4 points 3 months ago

I'd like to believe my brother there has a long dick

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Been there sucked that. It's not as good as you might think.

[–] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

For me I think a technological solution would be less far-fetched. 😆

[–] AceSLive@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

My wife. I want her to get better, though. Depression is a cunt. So is her abusive ex husband.

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Mental state fixed, society fixed, and a house.

I'm a greedy man, I know

[–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

An end to capitalism. An end to companies destroying the world because of greed.

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I'd be happy, for now, to just see capitalism take a distant back seat to the driving of intentions around the globe.

Companies have been milking the land, the people (employees & consumers), producing nothing but toxic tinge to everything created by the Earth & her people, declaring the creations "theirs"

I dream of the people of the planet looking back on capitalism as bad times in history. Educational & not remotely desirable to repeat.

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 10 points 3 months ago

Peace of mind

[–] Cano@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I do not wish to be horny anymore

I just want to be happy

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Cano@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Not me apparently

[–] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I just wanna enjoy things again, at least for more than a fleeting moment before the anhedonia sets back in. Working on it!

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

to live healthy in a healthy society on a healthy planet with a healthy biosphere in peace and equitably.

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Sing the songs!

I'd love to see healthy societies globally, care & tending of the Earth.

Healthy Forests of food & animals like the old growth forest (of northwest America), the Amazon increased across the globe. Food, better air, better connections with the Earth.

World Wealth, as we had before capital, was in the health of the land & the people. Hoarding imaginary paper replacements for gold hasn't been good for World Health or Wealth.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

A stable, sustainable, peaceful world

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To know my heart's desire.

[–] Tazerface@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The only thing my heart wants is to continue beating.

[–] m4xie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

You and your fancy words. I like you.

[–] Elextra@literature.cafe 5 points 3 months ago

My heart desires to always be healthy, beating regularly without issues, failure, or undue stress

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

To see that people actually learn during my lifetime. I won't see the solution to all problems, but just signs that it'll change some day.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly? Dating peacefully in my sleep. Like, tonight or something will do.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I usually date when I’m awake but I’ll have to give it a try!

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To cry in someone's arms and for them to say "Let it all out. I'll always be here for you."

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I am an idiot. I have been thinking about throwing that away.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

To make sweet sweet music. By which I literally mean music, not sex, to be clear.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My heart's desire is to stand immovable like a rock at a punk show. Feet planted.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That seems pretty achievable

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Done it. Watched somebody do it almost every punk rock show I've played or worked.

It seems you've got like-minded collaborators in the world.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Extreme longevity (healthy longevity ofc).

There are so many things and people and places to discover.

[–] justabaldguy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Personally: to live in nice midrise in a walkable European city with a remote job I enjoy and two friends to hang out with.

Globally: for people to stop actively seeking ways to harm each other and just be cool already.

[–] Presi300@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago
[–] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Social democracy!

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago
[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I want to know that people like me

[–] Kimdracula@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Just to stop feeling, sometimes just to die already, short longevity.

[–] Summzashi@lemmy.one -4 points 3 months ago (2 children)
[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What do you expect would replace it?

[–] TheDorkfromYork@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago
[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Where does communism exist? Not Russia. Not China. Oligarchs and despots.
