For me: I'd own a beautiful brick house with a large garden, a massive library and my own dressing room. I'd own a successful business and be a bestselling author. I would attend theater, ballet and symphony shows every week, and once a month I'd attend a gala. I would no longer get triggered and I would be coping well with my mental illnesses.

How about the rest of you?

I briefly lived it once - until I cracked up. I figure I was manic for the entire ten month period of it. I have written, rather grief stricken, of it before. I had quit my job and run off with my kayaks in tow to live the artsy-fartsy hippy life on a hobby farm on the side of a mountain surrounded by old growth rain forest over looking the ocean on Vancouver Island. It was perfection. Absolutely. Eating off the land. Living some adventure or another everyday (kayaking, hiking, climbing, etc). It was the most exciting, most perfect existence I have lived to date. The memories are wonderful yet they also can be painful at the realisation it is all gone now never to be lived again.

That sounds really nice. I would like to live in leisure, not having a busy job. Even if it is busy, I wanna work at some kind of NPO. I’ll try to adopt a kid, don’t care the nationality I just wanna make their life better by being adopted. that’s it and I’ll be super happy

I would be a well paid artist, painting gardens and flowers at my own pace. I would of course have my own reference garden with a gardener who I could help or not depending on a whim. I would have a personal chef to make healthy meals that also taste incredible. I would also engage in photography just for fun, taking trips as I pleased on a private jet. Nice huh?

i would share a place with a few friends.. the house/apartment/whatever would overlook a beautiful view, like distant city lights on the other side of a lake

i would be a semi-known artist, i would be able to travel and advocate for the things i care about..

i would just.. be free

omg I really don't know

I think i've all ready cracked half of it (that being I want to stay single), but I can't work out if I'd want to spend my life as a theme park engineer (theme parks are my biggist passion), or work for a nursery

I am attached to kids, and i'm a big kid at heart myself- I don't think their is anything you can tell me about kids at a nursery that would put me off working with them

or.... maybe work as a theme park engineer at a family theme park, then I'd get to meet lots of kids and their mommies (so somewhere like disneyland)

I'd also have a cat and a dog as pets

when I retired from the theme park I'd go on a cruise

For me, a perfect life would be pretty boring. I like all the bends in my road.

I already have a beautiful home. It was Mother's which she left me. The house always has been a peaceful place to live. But a perfect life? Nooo! That would be boring. I happen to know some folk who do have as near perfect lives, but they are happy together leading blissful lives; it's not for me to judge. If others find a perfect life though shared happiness, then that is fine with me.

In the ideal world I would love to live in a log cabin by a lake. With my daughter and the man she has grown to trust, whom I am ever so slowly, but ohh very definitely, falling in love with.

I feel like my life is pretty good right now. I am happy where I am at and the progress I have made. I have a job I am comfortable at. I Have a ton of family support. I am starting to make friends. I am healthy. I have money saved up. I have vacation plans. I am currently in a very good spot.

My perfect life? Each day there would be some peace and joy. A laugh. A smile. A curiosity. There'd be dreams and adventures. Interesting people. And love. Wait. Perhaps I already found it...just needs some tweaking!
