Happy & fulfilled. Whatever I happen to be doing to get there doesn't really matter...
Thanks for this!

I won't lie. I trustingly believed the "money doesn't matter" garbage when I was young. If anything were possible? I would be a rock star, have sh-itloads of $$$$$$$$$$$ and live in the Agoura Hills in a stunning custom-built home near the beach.
Or maybe even more to my liking, I would own a condo in San Francisco. I love the city.
Anywhere on the coast with cooler weather.

I am so, so tired of being poor and constantly worrying about money. I want a car that will almost surely not get stuck on some highway, and a cell phone that really works (instead of a free government phone). I would like to not worry about being homeless, and not be terrified of not having money for medical care for my cats. I'm a wreck from being at the mercy of greedy landlords who might raise the rent so I have no where to live. This is enough to drive anyone nuts.

I'd be living in a socio-economic environment where money wasn't such a focal point in people's minds & everyday lives. Where health care was non-profit. Where going hungry was merely a dietary choice. Where people - all people - matter.

I'd like to be a world-famous singer who can "do it all" range-wise and style-wise and have everyone be mesmerized by how beautiful my voice is. But I can't sing for the life of me and it makes me so sad because my life revolves around music. In addition to singing, I'd like to be the master of every single musical instrument out there...pick up any instrument and just wow the crowd. It's certainly doable...well...to be able to learn to play...but to master all the instruments and be able to play any style and any difficulty and be so amazing at it.

I love my music...and when I get to Oregon I want to really spend more time on my musical instruments...I have a guitar and a bass but I have yet to replace my harmonica. That was my favorite to play and it was special because it was a Hohner Special 20 just like the one Elwood Blues and John Popper had ...and my mom and I had a long discussion about the blues and music and what was achievable and she knew how long I've wanted one, so she spent the last of her paycheck to get it for me. So that was very special to have and I played it often.

If anything was possible.....I would keep my heart connected dog Leo alive & healthy for the rest of my life. He is almost 15 & they found what seems to be a tumor in his right lung. He has been with me since he was born & my last trip to Calif was the first time I was ever away from him his whole life. He has traveled with me his whole life & I can't imagine life without him even though I have my other dogs. I have a connection with him that I have never experienced with any of my other eskies dogs

Luckily for him, he's very thin .

Books!!

I think I'd like to be a demon or a vampire.

A published writer would be nice as well. Or a vampire published writer!

I would like to be young again so I could get the college education I always wanted. To go along with that I would need supportive and knowledgeable people to help me figure out how to get through college without getting caught in college "red tape".
