• honesty. i acknowledge the need to lie in order to protect oneself in certain situations. but lying to the people who matter, especially about one's true feelings and intentions, never leads to anything good. relationships based on honesty are the only worthwhile ones.
• authenticity. one should do the things that make sense to them, regardless of whether it fits into common definitions of worthwhile, dignified, or successful.

• to live somewhere mostly quiet, pretty, and inspiring.
• to settle somewhere, because it is not practical to want to leave all the time. it's more important for me to feel like i have a home, to have a place for my stuff, and to look after my cats.
• but also to see a lot more of the world before i die, because that does seem to be something that makes me very happy when i get to do it.
• to have a lifelong, stable, committed partnership that feels mutually encouraging, fun, and creatively and intellectually stimulating.
• to have an aesthetically pleasing daily routine.
• to feel like i have a good toolbox for making sense of the world and communicating my thoughts, good skills of selection, evaluation, interpretation, writing, speak...

basically i want to dress and live in the sweet spot between a 60s intellectual and a 90s movie slacker, with a 70s los angeles flat
