The way you want to live

sounds perfect !!! but no waves but it sounds like its worth checking out.......

 

One thing - MUSIC!!!

(ok maybe a bit more but basically life is good when I have my guitar)

 

right now im concentrating on getting a job and doing good at school


but what i really want to do is be a poet and a musician and make a living that way, but those aren't very secure careers

i want to find someone to love and grow with them and never stop loving them and have the most different and beautiful wedding and be a nomad

but right now i just want to find out who i am and what i believe in

 

i like your style. thats how id want to live. free to do the things that inspire me to be me and learn with mother nature around me. id probably be to afriad to grow my own things but id try. id really also want to travel all around the world. id sell things i can make with the things around me to get by and meet so many people doing it. oh yes, i do have a dream!

oh and i was thinking about the peace corps too.

 

After college I want to join the Renaissance festival and tour with them for a year or two. Followed by a steady career... something outdoors that I can get dirty and feel the warm sun on my back... someplace tropical! I want to marry my boyfriend of 3 years and settle down with him. I want to have children and provide a loving, nurturing family and allow my children to be the people they decide to be... not who I make them. I also want to travel as most of you do. I can totally see myself on a tropical beach enjoying the surf and living off of what I can catch and harvest. I want to find a place that is open to my strange religious ways and accepts the fact that I'm not a hard core Christian like most of the rag a muffins you find in the South. (Living in the Bible Belt can be really restricting!) I want to not be prosecuted for loving vandalism and be allowed to spread a positive message (I like to spray paint positive images... I've been reduced to chalking sidewalks for fear of getting arrested.) I just want to be happy and be with like minded individuals who want to be happy as well.

 

traveling the world, living on different communes.

finding out the meaning of life

that would be wonderful.

 

I want to go back to hunter-gatherer times.

 

I don't know. I don't want to plan my life...just want to take it as it comes.

I do know that I want art to be there with me.

 

i had open heart surgery 2 weeks ago today & found out the tumor they removed from my aorta was malignant. that was the preminary report. we're still waiting on the final reports. i was told they got it all; they think. it's really got me thinking about what i want to do with my life. i'd like to go deeper with my Zen studies. i definitely want to get backto nature. i think if everything turns out okay i'll go back to school this fall and get busy finishing my degree in Biology. i'd like to work in ecology or some how where i can spread the word of conservation. if they didn't get everything, then i'm going to fight like hell. i have two sons that i love more then anything. i want to see them grow up. i don't think my times up yet.

 

rebubla..wow! you're amazing.

 

I want to live my life peacefully and free. I am planning on going to college and majoring in psychology after high school. I am not exactly sure where I want to live just yet. I am most likely going to be leaving the United States, as I would rather live in England or Australia. Having the chance to travel often would be nice. Spending time with nature is a must for me. Living a life with someone who I relate to and share the same values with would make for a nice life, as well. Overall, I just want my life to be without continuous drama and worries.

 

The way I want to live is simple this: it's something I call "circular breathing" and it may also be a well-known meditation technique, thought I'm not sure if there's a formal title for it. I want to live every situation in life breathing in peace, humility, kindness, and quiet truth, while breathing out anger, hatred, and staticy thoughts (i use "staticy" for lack of a better word..?! haha). Anywho, that is how I want to live, and since I've adopted it as a conscious part of who I am, my life has been much more peaceful, and I find I'm more able to live any other way I want to. Make sense to anyone else? Please try it - Unlearn's Circular Breathing! Love you all!


Peace energy goes out,

Ditto.
I mean, apart from all the career crap that gets shoved down you throat, pushing you one way or the other whilst trapped in the confines of the state education system, I have been thinking in the last couple of years along exactly the same lines. There is so much shit in the world, and i would love so much to be able to do something about it. But I can't. And that makes me sad, but I accept it.Maybe it makes me weak, wanting to run away from problems instead of confronting them, but i just truly feel way out of my depth here. I would love to live in a comune-type place, with maybe a few families, working together to grow food, educate others and so on. A little brick hut, with smoke coming out of the chimney, a big tree, mountains in the background, a campfire going, and a sheep in the garden (called Bob). That's my dream.

 

The best way to live with the earth is to be a nomadic hunter and gatherer. It causes the least unnatural interference with the world.

 

there is nothing interesting about drinking and being on drugs trust me i know from experience.you don't want to have beat down jobs you would rather beat yourself down from drugs and drink yeah that makes sense. good luck with that

 

notice that the thread is called "The way you want to live" not "The way you want others to live".........

 

how did drugs and shit come into this... i didnt read all the posts. but from wat i can tell, drugs definatley have nothing do with life... although they may be something u do alot in ure life... personally i only use drugs as a break from the everyday fast paced nature of our society...in a perfect world, ide prefer no drug use whatsoever, but if u want to get high, so be it.... i always though of travelling as the bes way to live, constantly moving and on the run. never knowing where ure gunna end up at the end of the day... probably the best life ive experienced, if not a little fucking stressful at times

 

okay! i'm so ready for this question; i want to live in sweden or something exotic like that and have many kids and just be happy off of our love for eachother! i want to make my own clothing of course; have a small farm with tons of little animals; and just live in peace!!!

 

I want to graduate from a well respected university like UNC-Chapel Hill, traveling around during summers, living on different farms and seeing the world. writting books and singing songs, a doctor of gonzo journalism, and i will probably end up teaching, because the teachers were the ones who opened my mind and i can only return the favor. plus there are many misguided kids in the world and teaching is one way to help them.

 

I think iv always imagined that after i finished school n everything i would hav this really cool apartment in Melbournes amazing city with a beautiful view and pot plants hanging off the ceilings n everywhere. I want to be an artist or something. Something to do with art, or a singer (lol or both). But i would love to travel and see as much of the world as possible, write books, make movies, draw pictures of everyone and everything =] and id also love to have lots of pets, iv never really had any pets but i love all animals.
For some time i would really like to live in a commune and experience that because it seems like a beautiful way of life. But i think after a while i would miss my family and friends too much, since i know that they aren't the type that would like the idea of living there.
Theres more that i can't think of rite now lol
peace
