  • A wife (preferably a natural redhead of Irish/Scots background with blue eyes and an incredible singing voice)

Sounds a lot like a crush I had for a while. But she’s not a wife. And she’s probably a little young for you.

Hi Ric!

Also most of these wishes aren’t for “presents” or “Gifts”. Getting a girlfriend isn’t getting a gift, is finding a treasure and it’s something you have to do for yourself women aren’t objects to be given or taken.

I think you’re taking things too literally.

I think if you really want a wife you should get out and find one

easier said than done.

Well yeah but they won’t just come to you out of nowhere.

He’s not wrong.

You’re taking it too literally as well. I know women are not objects.

-The ability to erase memories. If I could get rid of the ones that started this whole snowballing mess, I might not be in such a dark place.
-Peace of mind.
-A job which doesn’t make me beg for death.
-The courage to make some changes, any changes, which could improve my life.
-The balls to listen to my therapists when they give me good advice.
-My passions back. I feel so numb to the world. I used to voraciously devour so much of what I love. Now I can barely muster the energy to do things.
-The ability to stabilize my crisis of faith and be comfortable around religion like I used to instead of having it trigger these attacks.
-The chance to see my family and give them my gifts (I’ll actually be getting this!).

I’m really not want for any material things, thigh I can think of some I’d like. I’d much prefer to have spiritual comfort, a little serenity, and the ability to control my own thoughts again, and the courage to fix my life. Though I would like the technical knowhow to burn myself those Despecialized Blu-rays 😉.

PS: Can I have a personal gibbering Minion?

Okay just to be clear I know you guys don’t think of women as objects, I just think referring to them as “christmas gifts” can be a harmful idea to have, as benign as You might mean out.

And yes it is easier said than done, but if you want to happen you have to make it.

You echo some of my desires and anguish. Though cliche to say it, never let the dim lights, or lack thereof, color your perception of the world for good. A certain set of circumstances and events have led to the person you are right now. A certain set of circumstances will continue to happen, some with faint impact, and some with major currents to affect how your life will guide towards; for the best or for the worst. Nevertheless, it’s my honest and humble opinion it’s worth suffering in order to truly appreciate the goodness in the world. Always a new experience to have, always a new person to meet, and always a new nugget of wisdom to taste (and swallow if so desired). Perhaps nothing is clicking, and nothing is giving way at the speed you would like; but think of these obstacles as weak dams. Eventually it has to give to the flow of the water. It has to give when enough is enough. It doesn’t mean such occasion will guarantee everything will be fine forever, but every bit helps nudge towards that serenity you seek.

I only say it with bias as someone that chose a decision, for the better, that I never thought I’d do, but sometimes something just snaps in the face of staleness and drone of life, and perhaps it’s necessary to feel that state of an unbalanced spirit, to feel the slow slog of life, so that you can truly enjoy the joy of change you wanted and earned.

I do sometimes this my “existential crisis” is really just a mask for real-world problems I’m neglecting to solve.

Not true. Counting is much easier than trying to describe how to count.

Yes, great thing to get up in arms about.

You know, I simply mentioned that I’d like to have a girlfriend. I’d like to have someone to love and someone that loves me. I’d like to have companionship and someone to buy presents for at Christmas and Valentines. I’d like to have someone to spend time with and go out and do things with. I’d like to have someone I could eventually marry. I am certainly not talking about an object. I know you don’t get the above in a wrapped package under the tree. I know the above is a person, and not a thing. In the same list where I mentioned a girlfriend, I also mention world peace and my father. They are not objects or things to be given as gifts under the tree either. The pc lecture is annoying, unnecessary, and a tad bit insulting.
