Mine would totally be the opposite of where my life is now. I’d be thrilled to be play games, whereas I barely play one. I’d be watching lots of shows and movies, whereas now I don’t at all. Any idea I have about going to the gym or doing something active, I’d do it, whereas now I am idealistic about it.

    I think “perfect” anything is hard/impossible to properly think of, and the concept of a perfect life is, at the very least, extremely childish. “Good life” is understandable and achievable, and I guess it involves feeling like you belong, like your life has purpose, and being accompanied and cared for by those close to you, in whatever shape those things come?

    I don’t think there’s anything that would necessarily be perfect, I’m sure anything I think of could be improved. I guess to me, the most perfect life I can think of is one where I have a purpose, a reason to get up in the morning, but nothing too mentally or physically draining. I can do something positive or beneficial, but still have time left over to pursue my music or make sure to make something nice for dinner or whatever, if that makes sense. I don’t need a lot, and I don’t mind routine. I just want it to be meaningful and enjoyable, at least some of the time.

    One where I don’t need to worry about not being able to afford the basic necessities to live comfortably.

    I really would have liked to have become a history or math professor at a small university. Living close enough to campus to walk, getting to go to my colleagues lectures and learn new things, keeping a dozens of books checked out from the library at the same time…

      have you been to uni lately? that doesn’t exist anymore really.

      most professors are adjuncts working 80 hour weeks for below minimum wage.

        Yeah, I know and knew, hence not following that path. Went for teaching where I did 80 hour weeks for a little more than minimum wage instead. But we’re talking about “perfect” lives here - which for me, would be being a professor of Chinese history or math at a small liberal arts university in a small town where no one gave a shit I was trans.

    Perfect for me would be a situation where I don’t have to go to work, and I could just walk down to the beach and lay in the sun and smoke weed everyday.

    For me, a perfect life would be a job, any job, that keeps me afloat, a house to live in, even if its just a small apartment, and a few good friends.

    If your definition of a perfect life is playing multiple video games and watching loads of movies then I’ve good news - you’re on the right timeline.

    For me it would be having a paid for house with land enough to not see the neighbors. Ownership of a cigar shop that was popular in the town I live, with employees that are well paid and health insured, and then money to travel with my wife and kid a couple times a year. Nothing wild like a month on the beach or anything… but a week trip to Disney or cedar point etc…

    Larger family. Regular extended breaks to work on projects important to me. A news cycle that cares more about policy than the tragedy of the hour.

    I couldn’t even picture what perfect would be like? I guess having infinite wishes like some sort of goated genie? I think whatever I would say is the “perfect” life today, might not be the case tomorrow, so I guess the ability to always live my perfect life would be a perfect life.

    Obviously that is hypothetical and not actually realistic. However, right now, I’d love to be no longer lonely, have plenty of great friendships, be comfortable financially, check off some bucket list items, have a gf, be able to live a simple life and e.g. go smoke weed in nature whenever I feel like it (just an example of having freedom, and free time). However, non of those seem attainable rn. And it must be next to impossible to have all those things - people in that situation must be pretty damn lucky.

    Very close to my current life but without financial stress and with a partner who shares even some of my interests and doesn’t want sex.
