I didn't infer this at any point, not sure why you thought it was something implicit in what you said.
Perhaps the way /r9k/ culture conditions everybody to constantly fight anybody who even suggests a happy thought makes people particularly defensive about this stuff.

>>35752518
It's interesting that you're the only one to mention a career in music. I thought that'd be a big one.
As someone who grew up in a somewhat suburban area, I wonder about how "cozy" it really is. I have a much better sense now that I'm in my (early) 20s what people mean when they say somewhere is "a good place to raise a family" and I agree that that's true for a lot of suburbs, but conversely I hated it growing up. It felt bland and restrictive and I dunno how I'd reconcile those thing if I ever had to.

>>35752561
This is the only one that directly suggests a life of no gf. If that's really what would make you happy then you've probably done a better job of making peace with your life than most of us.

>>35752568
Without revealing my (lack of) power level too much, I have to admit that the "constant sexual barrage" lifestyle sounds fun in theory but in practice would be incredibly exhausting.
Once/if you have sex or even do sexual stuff with someone else you immediately realize that it's a fundamentally different proposition than just fapping--you've gotta worry about your own satisfaction AND someone else's. It can be fun, but it's also a fairly exhausting process.

But hey, more power to you.

>>35752574
I'd want to teach History, given that that's what I'm currently in graduate school studying.
I like the name Lucy a lot. Alice seems kind of old-timey but I think it might hit a renaissance like Emma.

>>35752584
It's kind of funny that the very first thing you know you want, deep down, is a jacuzzi.
>tfw every time you've entered a hot tub it's felt way too hot to be comfy

>own thousands of acres in northern Montana
>house on land, near a road leading to a quiet and boring town
>it's a bungalow with two basement levels
>ground floor is generic kitchen, living room, garage
>basement 1 is my bedroom, computer room, main gun room
>basement 2 is more panic vault
>outside is large clearing surrounding house
>next to house is my personal machine shop
>live alone, waking up and going to sleep on my own schedule that makes no sense to a regular person
>tinker, invent, shoot, test, design, create
>go to town when I need to buy groceries and things not really worth having shipped
>on some odd weekdays, go meet industry reps to start mass producing stuff I make up
>depending of how well said things go, maybe expand machine shop with another building to have employees under my direction

Honestly it's not much different than how I live now except I don't own land, don't have my own business, and live on a "regular" schedule. Not so bad all things considered, even when the wageslaving is sucking the life out of me.

>>35752462
>> have two daughters
What the fuck is with 4chan's obsession with only daughters? It's fucking creepy.

>>35752634
Nothing I have described about my ideal life is technically impossible. As I mentioned in >>35753112 I'm actually in graduate school, so there's like a 1% chance of me becoming a real life professor instead of a 0% chance.

I have no idea where I would find a gf or how any of that stuff would play out, though. But it's not technically impossible, which is about the best I can say for myself.

>>35752635
> I don't care how much I would make and don't care how many luxuries I would own and don't care how successful I was at my job.
This is a big part of my fantasy life too. I just want enough money that the people I care about won't go hungry or homeless and I can give them a decent shot at life. I don't require any kind of luxurious lifestyle.
Sciences aren't my field at all but if that's your sort of thing, you have the added benefit that lots of private companies (even the government, sorta) hire researchers to do the same stuff so there are lots of opportunities, even if the cost of entry is prohibitive.

>>35752643
4 kids is a lot. If you really want to push 4 babbies out of your vagina I guess rock on, dude, but I'd feel weird wanting that out of my wife. Interesting that it's something you specifically want.

I said I'd want 2 kids in the OP but I'd be happy with just one, to be honest. It's not me who has to be pregnant with the things so I wouldn't want to impose too much on that front.

>I'd think running a cafe full-time would be stressful
Which is why I'd want it to be small, the town I went to uni in had a perfectly comfy cafe that was small, quite and always calm but somehow still stayed open until the owner retired, they only way it gets stressful is if you go to big to the point that you need a staff and not just 1-2 other people to run it.

In my fantasy life, I'd be an airline pilot with a six figure salary. I'd have a wife and kids to come home to and they'd be forgiving and accommodating of my work schedule which demands that I spend 19 days on, 19 days off. They'd know that I do it for them as much as I do it for me.

My wife and I would have a type of relationship that's focused on mutual success and happiness. There would be no "bound by the grace of god" shit. I'd just want to be able to birth someone of my blood and shape their life for success, just as much as my wife does. We'd realize that that's the only real goal of courting and procreation. We'd put in as much work as we need to make sure our child/children have successful futures and are as rational and as open-minded as we are. Whether or not that means staying together once our child (or children) grow is up to how things are between us. The end goal for both of us is to live life happy and not live life due to prescribed traditions. I just want to be able to fuck more than one person after I have a child and be mature about it, is all.

My hobbies would include having a motorcycle, a personal library, a nice, well-equipped kitchen and a music room with a nice sound system.

I want to make enough money to live out these dreams. If I don't, then I'll find something else that'd make me happy.

>>35752814
Related to the remote-living thing:
I recently got really into watching a documentary series on the like 7 people who live in hand-made cabins in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It's incredible comfy and people have no idea this show exists because it's marketed as a boring Alaska reality TV show when, in reality, it's mostly quiet nature shots and occasional interviews with the people who live there. The biggest event during an entire season is that some guy shoots a moose, which will feed him for the whole winter.

Ignore the shitty editing. Might be something you resonate with (remoteness, self-sufficiency), maybe not.

>>35752836
Maybe the process of repairing your life could involve a deeper consideration of what else might make you happy?
Not trying to be a psychologist but this would be a pretty simple thought exercise that involves no real discomfort nor any obligation to actually do anything.
Basically, what >>35753058 said.

I've always wanted to learn how to draw but that takes such a backseat to all of the other things I want to do but know I never will. Interesting that it's at the forefront of your dream life.

When I envision what contented, married life looks like, it always comes back to an image of cooking breakfast while my partner lounges around in pajamas.

No idea how this came to be, but I've always had that image in my head.

>>35753129
Personally, it's because I am a dude and grew up a dude and remember what a shit I was.
Not a daughter-fucking thing, just want to avoid the experience of raising someone who would be like the child I was.

That's sweet and hits many of my ideals, I have a biochem degree but haven't been able to find work, I'm definitely not an artist but I have my own passionate hobbies, I like the idea of having children but I don't personally want to because I believe it's better to never be born than to be forced into existence, I enjoy weed, I like cozy small living places more than large ones, pet names are great, I like animals especially dogs

(don't expect a response after this from me, going to bed now, just crazy how much overlap there is of me and your fantasy)

>>35753067
I've always thought of tech support as the kind of thing that sounds comfy because I know I could competently do it, but everybody who works in it in real life seems to think it's horrible. YMMV.

>>35753079
It's kind of sad that this opens with regaining parts of your life rather than creating new paths, but I understand how wanting to return to something that made sense/was comfortable is eminently appealing.

That's a lot of countries to go to culinary school in.

>I spend my retirement cuddling with stinky old dogs and my stinky old boyfriend

>>35753122
Do they still have thousand-acre plots for sale? Not to make your fantasy unattainable or whatever but I guess I have no real sense of space out in the real West (I lived in Colorado for a little bit once but Boulder is not Montana).

It's really interesting that you focused on the house/space itself rather than the more abstract details of your life. Not sure what that says (if anything) but it's genuinely interesting to me how different anons took this prompt different directions.

>>35753248
Not a director, but whenever I think of creative types (e.g. not Tesla or Newton) who actively didn't want gf/sex I always jump to Edward Gorey

Not a director but maybe interesting if you haven't already heard of him.

>>35753251
It's kind of interesting how many anons (presumably male and female) have mentioned a garden. I'd never even considered that, but the more I think about the more I do agree it would be comfy.

>>35753279
The flipside is that if your cafe is so successful (i.e. the food is so good) that people start coming in just to try it, you'll be understaffed!
A good problem to have, I guess.

You are (apart from the trans one earlier ITT) the first one to include changes to your physique in your post, which is something I thought people would get to a lot sooner.
Also the first one to mention a sports career, which I also thought would be more popular.

In an alternate timeline I think a fun ideal life would involve being a professional baseball player--not a star or even a starter, but maybe like a backup catcher or someone who's important but not necessarily a spotlight player.

>>35753349
I've always thought being a pilot would be an immensely satisfying job, even though I get that a lot of commercial flying is sitting there and watching autopilot do its thing. The idea of waking up in London and flying into Zurich and going to sleep in Cape Town is super fun to think about.
> I just want to be able to fuck more than one person after I have a child and be mature about it, is all.

This is really interesting and I'd never even considered this before. Probably not my cup of tea but I get why this might be an appealing proposition just from a personal fulfillment perspective.

I'm not sure actually, but even if it wasn't that huge I'd very much like a large plot of land. Large enough to shoot on without disturbing anyone; I may love guns but I have no possible reason to bother other people.

>rather than the more abstract details of your life
I think I'm a practical kind of person, I weigh pros and cons of subjective things to make decisions about them as objectively as I can. When trying to describe life, I end up detailing objects, places, actions, time, and other quantifiable things.

>>35753376
>Maybe the process of repairing your life could involve a deeper consideration of what else might make you happy?
Everything makes me uncomfortable and anoxious. If I'm alone then I don't have to feel ashamed in front of others. Video games and internet is like alcohol or drug for others. I do enjoy something from time to time, but it is mostly for to forget about everything.

This is weirdly specific but interesting.

This is interesting because it doesn't end in a "grow old and die" sort of thing like many/almost all of the others. Kind of a scifi way around that problem but that's a legitimate fear you get to conveniently escape.
Nice.

We don't really believe in marriage, we don't want kids and I see no reason to bring legal issues into a person's relationship.

The idea about living in Europe is to study under chefs, not go to a lot of different countries for school. You can take up apprenticeships and stuff to learn under chefs with different cultural styles.

I guess my life is kind of sad right now though.

This is kind of an interesting line in the context of everything else you lay out, given that you don't really "chart the unknown" in a practical sense and thus leave a dream unfulfilled.
Comfy though.

>>35753618
The apprenticeship thing makes sense, you're correct in that I was assuming a more CIA style thing where you go to classes and learn x, y, z

I have personal qualms with the institution and mechanisms of marriage too but I've always felt like, if I was truly in a committed relationship with someone and I did not anticipate that ever ending, I'd bite the bullet and do it. Partially for the taxes/rights & privileges, partially because it's a kind of contractual guarantee of an intact family for my children.
People with divorced parents probably feel differently about that but I didn't have that experience and want my kids to be able to feel like their parents are gonna stick together to raise them.

>>35752665
Came here to say this. All I want in life is to be a girl...

>>35753629
I'd like it to be in some place mundane, or otherwise ordinary. I've always held a strange sense of sentiment to places that have no commonly associated meaning, no emotional gravity. If a character falls in love, it needs to be somewhere special, but normal. That's why coffee shops are idolized in fiction. Maybe I'd be shopping at a Trader Joe's, or out looking for clothes. Maybe we stop at a record shop at the same time.

The worst feeling is, knowing that the moment you were looking for has already happened.

I dunno about his work so much (he's, I think, mostly famous for book illustrations like cover art and stuff) but the personal life is pretty compelling IMO.

>>35753657
You're probably right but I have literally no idea what any of that stuff looks like.
Pretty cool that you know about that shit though. "Nero marquina" is objectively a cool-sounding term

>>35753629
not the guy you're replying to but
>meeting a girl in a bookstore
This is the ideal for me too but every time I'm in a bookstore IRL I realize just how much speaking to someone would be weird and strange. Nobody goes in a bookstore to meet people, they go to look at/read books alone.
I like it because it's a guarantee of at least some kind of intellect and because I dig the aesthetic but sometimes real life gets me down in that I realize the dream/reality mismatch is pretty profound.

>>35753655
Interesting
From a historical perspective it's kind of neat to see how a one-off crime spree managed to influence an entire culture such that that specific form of "outlaw" behavior became an essentially romantic ideal

>>35753660

I try to maintain a sense of realism, I suppose. If I could, I'd be out there, two hundred years from now, waiting to see what the cosmos has in store for us. I could work on a Martian research base, doing handywork, or maybe I would've been reeducated and taught hydroponics.

>>35753660
>how one will feel in the future and those which center on the physical circumstances of their future
Maybe it's how different anons think they could be happier in another future, focusing more on the feels of their circumstance. Since I don't really care about relationships with people, or getting a gf, or other things commonly desired, my emotional state is more governed by physical states and possessions rather than an emotional state in relation to a future.

This thread was comfy and I liked the (You)s. Thanks. It's a shame I have to sleep to maintain the annoying "regular" schedule.

Good night.

>>35753708
>If a character

Not a comment on what you're saying (which is compelling in and of itself) but it is sort of interesting to note how quickly you switch from describing your own fantasy life to a full third-person perspective in which "your life" operates as a work of fiction.

I find myself often thinking about my life as if I were the author of my own narrative, so to speak, and I often use rhetorical/"writing" terms to conceptualize my own existence. I don't know if that's bad or not but it's interesting to see someone else do something similar, though the context is different.

>>35753755
Have a pleasant rest, Anon. I hope you are able to find what you're looking for.

I want to write a long running comic or webcomic as a love letter to shonen manga I read growing up. I currently suck at drawing and haven't ironed out a lot of the story I want to tell or what my characters will be but I do want to do this one day as long as it changes someone's life for the better and inspires them.

I gathered, I just know basically nothing about names for marble types. Pretty much all I know is that they quarry Tuckahoe marble near me, whatever that means.

>>35753736
That's legit. This is a rhetorical move that might be described as "using the exterior to define the interior," i.e. that the furnishings and details of your life are your way of explaining how you would feel, respond, etc.

>some nights we fall asleep in the same bed, sometimes the cat sleeps on me, sometimes we drink and laugh until we pass out

>a tree comes to life, screams for god and rots away in 3 seconds
>a little teapot crawls up my penis hole and pours steaming hot tea into my dick
>three homosexual men with lisps weep simultaneously

the end

>>35753479
>The flipside is that if your cafe is so successful (i.e. the food is so good) that people start coming in just to try it, you'll be understaffed!
There wouldn't be any real heavy food though, just stuff like pastries and sandwiches that can be premade for people to come in for, the focus would be on being a coffee shop to relax in midday or after work

I'm surprised, everyone's fantasy life is based on mere reasonable success in their interests. Mine is so narcissistic, my interest being ancillary to my overall greatness, as measured by genius.

My fantasies, daily, involve me being in the pantheon of either sciences, political analysis, cinema, fiction writing, etc. World renowned, I would mostly shun attention, opting for a quiet life of creation, occasionally venturing out to coyly bath in due adulation. The rest is incidental; wife, lake-side pillared house, hills and hollows, meditation room.

I guess this is just insecurity?

In this story the most irealistic part is the girlfriend. Feels bad man

>>35754342
Yeah, it is unrealistic to want a cute but somehow insecure girlfriend who is also gently femdom and smarter than an engineer. All women have serious character flaws, the question is which ones you're ok with.

ok ok ok i think about this a bit

>large apartment in Japan, not sure what city
>towards the mountains
>at least 3 bedrooms
>either working as a lawyer, or running a vintage / streetwear store out of town

>We play vidya or eat fast food while watching anime and adult swim together
>ATM no kids, only 19 but kids in the next 7 years. 1 boy 1 girl
>we go for a snow trip every year
>wife lets me smoke weed

>>35754984
Modest but comfy, I like it.

> Work somewhere with a nerdy/creative culture (not a soulless megacorp)
> Afford to save, travel, and go out
> have 50+ friends and 1,000+ acquaintances
> me and my gf/bf? are a power couple who wear fabulous matching costumes to warehouse parties

I just want a life full of fun, not the struggle

>>35752462

I would still be unhappy.

It still might happen. I'm in college for art and am getting a minor in both business and software engineering. Although I'm late with art I can at least say I have experience in making games and programming fundamentals for what goes into it. The two closest friends I mentioned are all on board and we're all gradually working toward this; the one is in college with me double majoring in art and music with a minor in game design. The other is actually in law school now becoming an IP Lawyer to help out with the legal aspects of the company since he wanted to open his own IP firm anyway.

I want any life where the weight of the world wasn't on my shoulders.

Come on guys, really?

Why me?

Mine isn't life, more like a moment i wish would finally happen so that i can die saying i regret nothing:

>oneitis and me are finally together after my 5 years of unrejected love
>it is a warm summer evening (preferably May or June)
>I drive her and me a little out of town for her to finally have some time for us two (she always helps her mother and her little siblings, is now 18 yrs old and is a kissles virgin)
>We lay on a hill near the road, so that we can see my car
>her in my arms, tells me how much she loves me and kisses me passionately
>I kiss her of course back and also tell her how much i love her

this all happens while we are still teenagers, i turned 18 in february, still got a year to maybe make it happen...

Every time I try to create a greentext of my ideal life, I realize how none of that will actually make me happy in the long-run.

My ideal life would be
>100 acres of land somewhere in Maine or some place like that
>Nice 2 story cabin
>completely self reliant
>enough solar panels so simple necessities like being able to watch a movie or charge a laptop
>Spend the rest of my life not having to work and grow my own food

>Live in a small, but not uncomfortably small condo
>Works as an indie filmmaker, occasionally doing work on other positions on bigger sets for money
>Have an artsy wife who loves me dearly, not obnoxiously, and shares my interests with traveling, movies, and music (even if she had different tastes it would be cool to kinda branch out from my own tastes)
>Travel the world when we can
>Good record collection
>Maybe have a cat

I don't ever see this happening, but a man can dream, right?

>>35757217
It is all achievable and there is nothing wrong with dreaming
Dreaming is a good thing and makes you want to work to get it
You cannot always get what you want but most of it will be yours if you work hard enough for it
