What do you yearn for?

[Happysalley]

Ever since I can remember, I've wanted a beautiful home. It doesn't have to be grand or fancy. Somewhere rural, quiet, safe, and enough bedrooms so me and the dc can have one each. An extra room for a yoga studio/sewing room would be the icing on the cake. A decent garden, flat and secure, and full of plants.

I've lived my entire life in council flats and I know I'm incredibly lucky to have a roof over my head. Even so, I still spend hours nosing on rightmove or looking at other people's houses and imagining what it would be like to live there.

A better car. I have a car. Runs fine, smells like a bad foot and is covered in dings.

For my neighbour yo sell us his acre of land next to our house

To retire early (55)

Retirement. Sick and tired of work politics
Some days I love it - most I just think I could be doing so much better stuff

People to wake up and realise in order to improve the world we all have to do better, be better, take responsibility

Just one bloody decent non alcoholic wine! How can we do astrophysics and nuclear energy creation, but not be able to create something that tastes exactly like Chardonnay with zero alcohol

Peace.

But that would involve the demise of my arsehole neighbour.

I live in hope😁

My youth and my health

for a man to be crazy in love with me and I with him

a higher salary

To live somewhere quiet, surrounded by fields and trees and flowers. God, how I wish I could live an ideal rural existence, the sort of thing you see in Postman Pat, or the old David Jason series the Darling Buds of May. I wish there weren’t so many human beings. I hate noise and cars and stress. I hate screeching boy racers waking me up three in the morning. I hate being surrounded by ghastly little new build homes, all squeezed on top of one another. Sometimes I feel like I can’t feckin breathe.

I yearn to live in a detached house in Norfolk or Surrey (but with far fewer human beings around me). I’d have a conservatory filled with flowers and books, and do nothing all day but walk in the country, watch the seasons change, and immerse myself in Dickens and P G Wodehouse and Jane Austen. The nearest neighbours would be 200 yards away, and they’d be smiley and kind, but not noisy or intrusive.

Recently, I've been yearning for simpler times. I'd like it to be the 60s, 70s & 80s again, before the Internet and before computers and mobile phones.

To be young again. I have everything else I could possibly want, but approaching 50 scares me. There’s not enough time left, and so much I still want to do.

A hug

Silence.

More grandchildren please ❤️

The 90s when life was so much simpler and the music was better

The world before covid happened. My grandad's hugs. Å

For someone to really love me.

World peace. A solution to climate change.

Absolutely nothing. If I want something I do everything within my power to make it happen. I genuinely don't want "things". But do value deep friendships, travel and experiences

A break. A day to myself. A whole day of nothing, when no one needed me to do anything. That would be bliss.

To win the lottery and to never worry about money again.

For my son to be healthy and have a good quality of life.

For us to have somewhere permanent to live.

These are all things I think of daily and really do yearn for

Peace and quiet and a week to myself.

Answers and a diagnosis of whats wrong with my son-ADHD, aspergers etc and a plan of what we can do to help get it undee control.
Eventually my own house

I want exactly this too.

For time to slow down. But only in the spring, summer and autumn.

I yearn for long, warm summers. Fields of hay and first love.

More sunshine and proper warmth in the air.
