Getting paid without having to work.
A stable career path, a loving relationship, and permanent housing.
More concise: Stability.
It’s all I ever wanted and seemingly the only thing I can never have even since childhood. I move every 2 years on average and since adulthood that’s been from basement apartment to basement apartment and now to a garage with no end in sight… I finally got to the point where I could consider buying a house and then COVID, WFH, and the invesestment parasites all blew up at once and took that away from me… I gave up on the relationship bit years 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.
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
Or you could rub a cats bellllly?

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
Good plan!
Getting rid of 35kg of fat.
Long term, low intencity depression doesn’t make it easy though.
being a cis woman
Would you settle for being a woman?
I could try, but I’m not a woman, I’m not even on hrt yet, I’ll start diy as soon as my package arrives, but even then I’ll never pass. And it’s all my fault, I knew it since I was 13, but didn’t do anything about it, cuz I’m a fucking retard or something. everything in my live is just dark-gray and the only way to brigthen it up are drugs…
anyway, how was your day?
My daughter to be happy.
Also, for her to manage a single night with solid sleep, so I’m not replying to threads about happiness on Lemmy at 5am. That would also be nice.
