What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
My vision of “it all”
Is me living in a single story, small, house
With my various creatures
With enough money to care for them
And myself
No rent
Being able to buy things when I want them
I don’t want to be making million dollar purchases
I want to be able to afford my rent after spending $200 for fun
Rather so my mental health doesn’t plummet
Or just not have any rent
If I could eat when I’m hungry
Eat what I want
Afford my medication without it being half my pay cheque
I would have a cleaner and a cook
Only because I struggle so much with both and I miss home cooked food
Never another unflavoured TV dinner
But me having it all
Would require everyone else having it too
Though perhaps it everyone lived more like me this poor planet could sustain that
I wouldn’t be able to find happiness surrounded by suffering
The pieces of peace I attain now are almost certainly a defence mechanism so I don’t lose my mind again
If this “all” also had close and caring communities I wouldn’t object
Ah fantasy
Now I shall go back to being short on rent
