    I want to fall in love one last time before I die. (Terminal cancer, age 41)

    All that other shit is meaningless

    This isn’t the most glamorous or exciting thing, but I want to go to a furry convention sometime.

    … I’m really typecasting myself here on Lemmy, aren’t I?

      Sounds like am amazing goal. People on the internet can hate on furries all they want but connecting to like-minded people in the real world is really nice. I hope you get there.

        Basically, “furries” are animal people like in Disney’s Robin Hood and Zootopia, and the fans of those creatures. There’s some sfw art at !furry@yiffit.net if you want to see. Humans in media are boring. :P

        Personally, I’ve seen it to be a very open, accepting and welcoming community. So I guess I romanticise being with a group of like minded people, which is something I’ve felt lacking in my life.

        … Annoyingly, due to its history as an lgbt-friendly splinter group, it’s who a lot of the bigots started targeting when it became socially unacceptable to be honophobic online. Grumble grumble.

        Wait, for real?

        On the chance that you’re serious, this should tell you way more than you’d ever want to know about furries. (And if you aren’t sated by the time you’re finished reading that article, there’s a link to the page “Furry Convention” in the first paragraph.)

          I knew it had to do with animals, but didn’t realize the fursona or expensive costumes. Thanks for the explanation. Seems a little odd, but harmless.

            Don’t post the Down The Rabbit Hole documentary on Furries. Don’t post the Down The Rabbit Hole documentary on Furries. Don’t post…

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aF2GxWi7Ag

            Dammit, I posted it.

            (I’m sorry SavvyWolf… For everyone here, that documentary doesn’t paint an entirely representative picture of the furry community as a whole.)

      At least the last point is something you can do relatively cheap at most larger lakes or coastal cities in a weekend course. Sailing isn’t that hard.

      Does caving also include going into caves that have been explored and secured before? Or do you mean full on diving into the unknown? Because ive seen too many video essays and read too much H.P. Lovecraft to even think about that.

    I want to drive across Europe, Australia, and the Americas (not all in a row).

    It would be nice to do Africa and all of Eurasia, but some shit would need to get fixed first.

      I’m Australian and I want to drive across my country. But with a twist.

      I want to grab my best friends, all fly to Perth (Far western Australia) on a friday. We each have $5000 and the weekend to buy a car and prep it for the 3900kms back to sydney.

      Do our own stupid little top gear adventure.

    I would like to try hang gliding but also don’t want to admit this is likely a terrible idea!

    I just wanna play an in-person campaign of DnD with like… 4 or 5 other people, and a good DM.

    That’s all the adventure I need. But no friends and a strange work schedule tell me I won’t get it.

      “Play with it while you have hands!”

      What I’m trying to say, is: just do it, anything you feel like. Things only get more complicated later in life.

        But I don’t feel like anything in particular. If someone were to tell me to “just do it” a trillion different random things have equal potential to come to mind. Should I tour the toothpick factory because that’s “a thing to do while alive”, as opposed to trying out at the tiddlywinks championship? That’s the issue, nothing that I would expect to be able to do draws me.

          That’s sounds vaguely like “anhedonia”. You can try refreshing your interest in the hobbies you used to like. Joining your friends / relatives in their hobbies. Staying in the nature is always great, as long the nature is not hostile at your place. Staying around people, interacting with them, observing their lives, problems and joys. You’ll find something that suits you.

    I’ve been watching a lot of shiey on youtube and it makes me want to train hop. I went wandering for a few years when I was younger and I miss it sometimes, I hitch hiked all over, but never train hopped and now I’m a bit too tied down I probably won’t get the opportunity.

    Not a regret exactly, but I do miss the freedom of living out of a bag and just waking up and traveling anywhere you want on a whim with no set dates or requirements other than making sure you have food and water.

    I want to go to a Taco Bell in every country that it’s has them. I know Japan, India, New Zealand, and I believe the Dominican Republic have taco bells.

    I like taco bell, and traveling. I would enjoy myself. They probably have unique menu items.
