Wasn't sure where to put this, so please move as appropriate.
I kind of love playing this game. Although admittedly, it sometimes makes me sad that it's mostly fantasy, that I'll never do any of it. One of the things my therapist says is that I can find small ways to do some of the things that I dream about. Maybe. We'll see.
Anyhow, what would YOU do if you were not restrained in any way - not by money or family or other circumstances?
Interestingly, my answers have changed over the last two years, although I still am interested in all of it.
First, I wanted to build a state-of-the-art animal sanctuary. Spare no expense, have programs for all ages, offer volunteer opportunities for all, have beautiful places for animals to stay until they are adopted, and a strong ethic for all staff/volunteers. I'd work to bring no-kill to all states, and be very involved in all the operations of the organization.
So later (during the pandemic), I decided what I really could manage would be a new home with lots of land and a couple of tiny guest houses on my property. And AirBnB or Vrbo. And, of course, a huge catio for my girls and fenced in area for a dog. Lots of bird feeders, as well. And a place to hold workshops.
Now, a year later, my ideas have again changed (although I still like my other two ideas). Now, I would love a new house on a LOT of land...enough room for me to not have to deal with people and have plenty of space for dogs. A dedicated writing room in my house, a sunroom, maybe...and a place outside in back to sit and just be during the warm months.
So...what would YOU do if you didn't have to worry about money (or anything else)?
