If you'd asked me this earlier in my life, I'd probably have replied that I wanted to get married, have kids and live happily ever after. If you'd asked me during 2007-2013, I'd have told you one of two things:
1. I don't want anything. I'm just waiting to die.
2. I want to live on the top of a mountain in Montana. Alone. Hunting, fishing and fighting to survive.
I guess what I am trying to say is that when I was younger, I just felt like I should do what everyone else has always done and when I was a little older I had no hopes or dreams at all. It took me a very long time to work out just who I am.
I have actual hobbies now. Actual hopes. Dreams. I never really had those before.
I'd love to spend a couple of months walking the entire length of Japan (Yes, I realise that Japan is made up of 4 main islands.) and visit all the old temples and other historical sites.
I'd like to take a trip to Auckland to visit a friend I have not seen for 20 years.
I'd like to go skydiving. I've always liked the idea, but I never seemed to get the opportunity.
I'd like to earn enough money that I can have a large, isolated country house, surrounded by hills, trees, rivers and wildlife.
OK, now for the more outlandish ones...
I'd like to travel into space.
I'd like to cure cancer
I'd like to bump into my ex-wife entirely by accident, apologise for the way things went and then share a cup of tea/coffee while we catch up on what's happened in our lives.
I'd love to develop some social skills too. I am completely at ease in text-based communications, but I have virtually no ability to communicate face to face.
