What I want

(This post doesn't have pictures. But I'm writing this down anyway since I remembered it and I think I shuld jot it down somewhere.)

The question about what I want has been an annoying thing to me for the longest time. Some people have a bad habit of popping the question time and again, which is really frustrating not because I don't have a clue about what I want, but because it's just a pretty long list that includes tangible and intangible stuff.

I think a lot of people don't really know what they want, which is why they ask the question in the first place. Or perhaps they want to her someone else state their wants and see that they acieve their goals, because they don't want to face up to the reality of their own wants. Or perhaps they are more sinister and simply wish to know what you want so that they can gloat about it when you don't achieve your ambitions. Or perhaps they are truely clueless and it's just one of those questions you ask when you're sorta out of things to say and want to try and stay relevant.

Anyway, on what I myself want, here's the list, as it stands in my head. I've also marked off the stuff that has already come to pass; hopefully everything gets checked off before I die, but if not, well at least I got some stuff done, which is more than I can say for some people.
