What’s your greatest desire?

[sserafim]

What would you see in the Mirror of Erised? What do you want the most in life?

 

[EvisceratedJester]

Right now it's to achieve inner peace and happiness.

Oh nice. Has your greatest desire changed a lot over time? Honestly, I don't even know what mine is

 

[EvisceratedJester]

To be honest, this desire is very new to me. It only came about recently while I was doing some self-reflection.

 

[imissmykitten]

i think that my greatest desires are to be normal, and having someone to care for that also cares about me. i guess that's what i think of when i imagine how to be satisfied in life

 

[TheGoodGuy]

To be a child again..

 

[lostforever77]

Have just one person in my life that honestly loved me as I truly am.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Death. Specifically permanent non existence

To be a child again..

Same (as well as other things). I used to want to be successful. Now, I just think that everything is meaningless. There's no point in achieving anything if you're going to die in the end anyways. Sometimes I want to be famous, but I don't think that I would be able to handle fame

 

[Agon321]

I actually have no idea.

Maybe complete inner peace?
My thoughts weigh more and more and it becomes more and more irritating and tiring.

However, I don't think that inner peace helped me completely.
There would have to be something else.
The problem is I don't know what.

I want inner peace as well, but I think that I'll only get it in death

I don't expect complete peace after death.
My pessimistic thoughts tell me it's too easy.
I'm not saying that there will be eternal torture waiting for us on the other side or anything like that.
I just think that the afterlife is not a utopia.

Unless there is nothingness.
But then it's hard to call it peace or anything like that.
If you are not there and you don't feel anything, you don't feel peace either.

To live until I'm old, having done thousands of paintings, and then peacefully pass in my sleep, and someone finding my body the next day so the pets don't have to eat my body and be euthanized as a result.

Why do you want to live until you're old? I want to die young. I never want to get old or go through old age

It means I would have done something with my life, done something that was worth it enough for me to continue living to old age. I love old people and want to be like them one day.

I remember when I was 13 thinking "Oh my god, I'm going to die before I'm 18" because I couldn't possibly see a future after highschool. Graduated at 15 and am still trucking now over a decade later. Life is better now than it was then. But I've yet to find something that is special enough to continue fighting after 30. But maybe that's just my 13 year old self crying about 18 again.

I wanted to die at 18, but never got around to it. I never wanted to become an adult. I never saw a future for myself as one, nor do I want one. I didn't see a future after college. I wanted to die before I graduated (at 21), but I didn't do it. I didn't even have a plan for my post-college life because I didn't think that I would be alive to live it. It's been almost 2 years since I graduated. I never thought that I would have to enter the workforce or real world. I always thought that I would be dead before then. Now, I want to die before 25 to prevent myself from having to be a real adult

What is your major if you don't mind me asking?

I don't feel comfortable saying it here in case there are lurkers, but I'll tell you in DMs. It was in the science part of STEM. Lol I guess I'm a bit paranoid

Holy shit I can relate to everything you said so much I never went to college though so I'm glad you graduated even if it won't be for much later on. (That might sound mean but I promise my intentions are not that)

From that info I can only say that STEM jobs have a high rate of employment. Unless it's just biology. Then it's oversaturated with people who were trying to aim for med school but failed.

 

[untothedepths]

If my wish was minimal, I just want to be unable to feel any emotional pain. I'm at a 9~10 all the time of being angry, crying, or 'dead inside' all the time I'm so sick of it.

 

[Namarupa]

To either die and be extinguished or to have my soul saved, in case some religion is correct.

 

[PolishPanda46]

Realistically speaking, I try to keep things somewhat achievable, my main desire or dreams would be to get some job that doesn't make me hate my life, some nice gf that I'd get along with but even that seems unrealistic to me lol.

Inner peace and happiness, and i want to finally feel good in my own body.

Yeah I used to dream about becoming a famous singer (not that I sing that well) but I would never be able to handle the pressure nowadays, I can´t even handle working a couple hours a week. No I just wanna go back to my childhood when I was healthy in mind and in body and had loads of friends and fantasizing about how amazing life would be as an adult of course this turned out to be a lie but having hope and dreams feels amazing but now I am old enough to see nothing I dreamt of would come true the veil has been lifted and I can´t handle life and am too much of a coward to kill myself.
