    I want to start over from fourteen years old with what I know now.

    Amen to that.

    I'd love to have a steady job, don't really care what it is atm, where i could make enough money to have a small place of my own.
    Pretty simple dream really but ive no idea how to go from where i am to that. I'll probably have to go back to school at some point and im not sure if i can cope with that yet, 3 years ago i was a much better and stronger person and it's only recently that im making progress toward getting back to that level.

    I really don't know. I'm like a slacker/depression case right now. I guess short term:

    Get a job at the restaurant down the street, or some other chill job
    Learn to skateboard better
    Get a girlfriend

    Long term:

    I don't know.
    Either go back to college or move out to a place that's cheap but not a shithole with drugs and crime everywhere.

    actually it's funny you posted this thread because it wasn't until just a few days ago that I came to the extremely liberating conclusion that everything I want out of life is fairly simple. in less than two years I'll have my bachelor's degree, and then I want to work towards getting a house with my partner. I want a garden, perhaps a few hens, and no less than five cats. that's all really. I don't really have any goals in terms of careers, being a liberal arts major (derp). anything that makes ends meet will suffice.

    Death is a long-term goal I feel fairly confident I'll achieve.

    In addition to having kids, I'd also like to travel at least a little bit while I'm still young and not settled down yet.

    I'd also like to be a teacher.

    Not worth the money IMO.

    Get a job to pay for classes
    Pass Chemistry

    Long term:
    Move up to the redwoods

    Find a good place to grow weed

    -have at least one child
    -learn at least three languages fluently (not counting English)
    -Try as many illicit drugs as possible
    -Drift through Latin America
    -Get shot non-fatally at least once
    -Commit the act of burglary at least once, and then leave the stuff somewhere and inform the popos so it can be returned, and get away with it
    -If I ever go to prison for some reason, I want to try to break out at least once
    -Smoke more dank
    -Fight a Grizzly Bear with my bare hands
    -Die doing something ridiculously awesome, like a mass prison break started by people on the outside
    That's all really, nothing too exciting
    The only Nazis I like are Grammar Nazis and ex-Nazis. I would say dead ones as well, but they tend to smell.

    So many dreams involve growing weed. A former housemate had/has the plan of making it big through marijuana cultivation. Ey still owes me around five hundred dollars I'm sure I'll never see.

    This will probably sound silly but it's been something of a minor goal of mine to write an intellectual biography of Marx and Engels
    "From the relationship of estranged labor to private property it follows further that the emancipation of society from private property, etc., from servitude, is expressed in the political form of the emancipation of the workers; not that their emancipation alone is at stake, but because the emancipation of the workers contains universal human emancipation – and it contains this because the whole of human servitude is involved in the relation of the worker to production, and all relations of servitude are but modifications and consequences of this relation."
