To ask something you’d love that you can’t ever have

[GrinchnotHinch]

Is there anything in this world you would love to do or have that just isn’t an achievable goal? You know when people say you can achieve anything if you set your mind to it? Well, the thing you can’t have either way.

Mine would be to adopt a child. I have all the love in my heart to give to adoptive children, I know I could love them just as my own and deal with the challenges unconditionally. Unfortunately I have a mental health diagnosis, two previous (malicious) reports to Social Services and a DP who doesn’t feel the same on the subject. I do have biological children but I will always dream of adopting.

Is there anything for you?

I would like to be able to stay in my house and not have to sell it in 2 years when the mortgage term is up.
I can't repay it so have to sell.
I've lived here for 23 years and I have no idea where to go.

I also wish I could go back in time and spend time with my parents. So many things I want to ask them and tell them.

To be slim not hate my body,

@chillibeansauce what's a white woman's weave? I'm intrigued!

I’d like to own a piano. Sadly we don’t have space in our flat for one so we’d need a bigger house and we don’t earn enough to buy a bigger house so we’re stuck where we are, with no piano.

I would like loving, supportive parents please. Is it to late to put myself up for adoption aged 45?

To share the mental load equally with my partner

A penthouse in Paris to escape to on weekends

To be able to jog again. My knees gave out a decade ago, and while I can cycle for miles, do yoga and cross-trainer, nothing for me beats the experience or the effect of just running out the door into fresh air with headphones on.

To be anxiety free.
To have had more time with my gran.
To be in the EU.
To be with my family this Christmas.

Btw I'm not an exercise fanatic who actually does all those things weekly! It's just they are the things available to me and they don't really compare to jogging.

I dont have the skills or the money unfortunately.

To not be in pain every day

To move back to Northern Ireland. Miss it desperately, Moved away five years ago and have been miserable ever since.

I always think how amazing it must be to have a great singing voice.

My DD would probably like it too so she doesn’t have to listen to me screech along to the car radio every day

A couple of big fluffy ragdoll cats-we live in our perfect home-an oceanfront top floor apartment in QLD-underground parking, pool-everythings absolutely perfect apart from the fact of the no pets policy...
