Discussion Long term goals?

[TAW122]

Considering that I won't be ctb'ing anytime soon (could always change if circumstances change though), I've thought of some long term goals that I have. For me, there are a few things that I see myself pushing for. Some of which might be far-fetched, but at least it's a big goal to pursue. Given and assuming that I live for another decade or so (or even longer, but not until elderly age, such as 65 or so), here are some of my goals:

Long Term goals:
-See to it that physician assisted suicide becomes legal in more states in the US, and that the choice of voluntary euthanasia is extended to more people (those with low quality of life, serious disabilities, and those who have tried to get better but is hopeless, etc.).
-Make sure that voluntary euthanasia, right to die remains strong in Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg, hope those countries don't change their laws in regards to the right to die..
-See the legalization and decriminalization of prostitution in more states around the US, and perhaps more countries. (Similar to the way that marijuana laws have been around the US and various parts of the world). I believe that there are more benefits to legal prostitution than banning it and punishing both buyer and seller. (Some might disagree but I'm not here to argue my position).

I also have some other personal goals, but in terms of long term goals, these are the ones that matter the most to me as it not only benefits me, but also benefits society as a whole, especially in the long run.

What are your long term goals, assuming that you live another decade or longer?

 

[daikon]

I want to live alone, become a librarian, and move to France, or at least somewhere in Europe. My dreams haven't changed, but they seem unachievable now -- hence the death drive.

 

[Psilo]

and move to France

You'd

I want to live alone, become a librarian, and move to France

Sorry for the question but why would you pick France??

 

[EmotionlessWanderer]

Be able to live life without dealing with society's shit.

 

[Kyrok]

I'd like to regain the energy and focus needed to finish my current book.
Then, I'd like to retire, moving to a mountain town.

 

[Misanthrope]

I also want to write a book but I can only write between sickness. At this rate suicide seems more likely than finishing my first draft.

 

[Dead beat dad]

Not turn in to my father

 

[dandan]

I can not dare to make long -term goals.... bu hu.... im dwelling and victimizing myself, and hurting myself, like if I had no alternative to ctb....

I do have an alternative to ctb....

to not ctb... and accept life as sucky as it is... but then I realize I cant accept it....

and I go back to ctb....

 

[HellinHeaven]

Finding the ability to trust and love me, the world and people again and to be open for deep relationships. Because if there's no love all your doing doesn't matter.

 

[Lara Francis]

My goal atm is wanting to live. !

Developing the desire to live

 

[Memento Mori]

next to that i just want to live somewhere in the woods, simple life, some animals around me, fresh water and a place to take a shit in silence. that's it.
no fucking laws or obligations to hold me back from what i'd like to do

Developing the desire to live

lol yes

 

[Jessica-]

Developing the desire to live

Stay strong and I hope you succeed and have a great life!

 

[dandan]

Developing the desire to live

What process are you undergoing to develop the desire to live?

Intelectually? Emotionally?
Thinking a lot?
Feeling?
Experimenting... having social relations?

lol yes

I would like create manga like that too.

 

[EmptySteph62]

I would love to be a zoo veterinarian, and maybe meet someone and get married one day. I want to live in a nice house and give a good life to some animals. I'd never want kids tho, theres no way I'm bringing children into this world.

 

[stellabelle]

Just to buy a house. Possibly marry. Lose some weight.

 

[Quitter]

I'm constantly flip flopping between
"Fml, nothing matters, everything's ruined, gonna ctb in a few weeks"
and
"That's it, I'm going to get my shit together and become a functional human being!"

If I have a future, I'd love to have a job that gives me a sense of purpose, and which I can feel confident doing, but isn't too draining.

 

[sadgirl2002]

If I don't ctb and the person that I'm waiting for ends up coming back to me, I'll get married and have children. I know that will give me everlasting happiness. I also want to get a job in a preschool, grow my hair long and thick again, lose some weight in my problem areas, read and write more, find more music to love, buy more lovely things, explore new places, continue my dance lessons, lose myself in nature, just everything I wanted to do throughout my life before I got worse. I feel like I'm living in my imaginary world.

My hopefully not too long term goal is to overcome survival instinct.

 

[TAW122]

Wow this thread has been bumped up again, and recently, I'd say my long term goal is to CTB. Life just doesn't have much to offer and it isn't getting any better. I have no exact date (and wouldn't want to have a 'fixed' date as I'd like to have some flexibility) but of course, when circumstances and timing are right, then I will proceed to make my exit. So near end of this year, there is a good chance, if not, then perhaps sometime into 2021. It all just depends on several factors, catalysts, timing, etc.

It's hard to look forward to anything when I already feel like I'm in the future. I don't recognise the world anymore and am reluctant even to see 2021

 

[StateOfMind]

Even if I had the energy I would try to avoid any meaningfull goals in order to prevent "hopium" from kicking in. Top priority is over coming SI. Goals will apart from ctb will not help.

 

[Sk1n1M1n]

Achieve a 2•2 or above in my degree and become a social worker.

 

[Thinking]

My dreams haven't changed, but they seem unachievable now -- hence the death drive.

That's a really good way of putting it

 

[FuneralCry]

My goal is death therefore non existence which is the only true goal of life really.

 

[wonderworld]

to get a job i like and be more financially stable ( give life a try one more time)

 

[Deleted member 1465]

To subvert human behaviour using subtle subliminal influence, starting here and spreading out to the rest of the internet.
To control all the ignorant and harmful people in the world and make them do what is necessary to do to help our species survive and do so in relative comfort, cuz lets face it, if they continue to have freedom of choice then we are all fucked.
To do all this without anyone noticing.
To refrain from getting drunk and letting my plans slip on some web forum.
Shit.
Oh well.
I'll get my coat...
