Tell me what your greatest, craziest dream vision of yourself is. What do you do? Where do you live? How do you dress?

I'm a creative writing professor at a high-standard liberal arts college in Massachusetts or upstate new york. I live in a white cottage in the woods with ivy growing up the walls and a massive garden, including a little greenhouse that doubles as my writing room. In my younger years, my novel (or novels) became an international bestseller. I have an Irish Wolfhound named Christopher and a Selkirk Rex named Augustine. During the week, I'm a well dressed professional woman who loves her job and is held to a high standard of life, successful and classy and happy. I invest in my community and I'm active in my local schools, donating to charities and students of promise constantly. I balance my own books, and I'm financially stable. But most of all, I'm happy.

I live in a big two story house with my friends. I have a room all to myself that has a good but dark aesthetic and vibe to it. I'm like the mother of the house, being the main one who cooks and bakes, drives my friends everywhere, and knitting. My writing career is going really well and I have a nice girlfriend who I always feel comfortable with. I'm confident in myself and my ability to do things. I wear whatever I want and feel proud in it. My friends love me and I love them and everything is going well in my life. But idk, it's just a dream.

I live in a nice house, not very big but not necessarily small, with my wife. I have a library room, an art studio, and an office. I foster kids, and I have a daughter named Chancellor. I also have 3 corgis, a saint bernard, and 2 savanna cats and one rescue cat that no one else wanted. I am an art teacher at my old middle school, I write books and sell all sorts of the art I make in my studio on the side. I write under a pen name, though, and I love hearing students talk about when my next book is coming out, or how one character doesn't deserve another, without them knowing it was written by their very own weird and lively art teacher, Mx. Liljenquist.

I live in an apartment in New York with big windows with an amazing view and lots of sunlight. I have good friends that I can be myself around. I have one big dog and one small dog and a cat. They all get along and I love them all. They sleep in my bed at night. I'm in a broadway show that I love with a cast who are all my best friends. In my free time I write stories in a little coffee shop and I have a small group of fans who love what I write. I have the tattoos that I want and my hair is brightly colored. I am free to be who I am without any worry of judgement.

I have three versions:

1: I live in NYC as a mildly famous Broadway actress. I'm not very well known but I get into shows and realize my dreams. I live in a cozy apartment overlooking the city with my cats and possibly a nice fish tank. In my spare time I write poetry and play music.

2: I'm famous as a singer-songwriter and am very widely known for ushering back the era of actual good lyrics in pop music. I have multiple houses but spend most of my time in a rural cabin somewhere in the forests of Canada. I'm a very charitable and kind celeb and I do a lot of volunteer work, and I am also a highly renowned activist. I dress like a complete hipster in my spare time but when I'm doing public events I wear whatever I want- sparkly dresses, jumpsuits, just generally fabulous.

3: I live a low-key life. I live also in a cottage in Canada with whoever I marry and my cats. I work as a freelance writer, but I'm not too well-known. I do even more volunteer work and enjoy helping out at animal shelters and visiting schools. I am happy and accepted by all as who I am.

I live in a high-end apartment in Seattle with loads of books and succulents and a roommate that's also my best friend. I have at least two cats and hopefully a dog (a husky please omg). I'm a pediatric geneticist who does both research and sees patients and I get to travel a lot to go to conferences. I'm bilingual and I get to learn new things constantly. I have friends from everywhere. I write in my free time, just little things, just for fun, hoping to get published someday. I might have a boyfriend but it wouldn't really matter to me either way. I'm far away from my hometown and the sweat and sorrows of my old home. I'm content.

I'd like to have my own place. Housing here is insanely expensive, so being able to have my own place instead of renting would be really nice. I'm kind of torn between wanting something in a quiet area and wanting something close to lots of stores or a mall or something. I don't really have a dream house. Having a low budget is already kinda limiting my choices so ¯\(ツ)/¯
I'd like to get married someday, but no kids, only pets. I love Borzois and I'd want either a white and cream or a white and red one. Libby for a girl, Basil for a boy. But I also just really love most dogs so I'd be happy with anything that's big and fluffy. I'd like to get a cat too. I haven't really thought of names or colours yet because I want to go to a shelter and pick out the most affectionate one they have. I really like the name Pandora for a girl at though.

These are all so nice. :') I wish you all the best with these dreams of yours!

Here's mine: I'll find a job that allows me to live in France or Japan, and if not steadily in one of those places I don't mind hopping from country to country. I'll either work for the government in some way, teach English, or be a freelance blogger. I'll find/will have already found my soulmate, who loves to travel as much as I do AND/OR who has an amazing life dream that I enjoy supporting him in. We run Spartan Races together every year. I have two ferrets, a dog, and a cat. I don't know about children but I don't mind if I end up having them. My books are getting published, but I don't support myself off of them. In the end, I don't mind where life takes me, as long as I stay true to my sense of duty for the world and my thirst for adventure.

(If I could live in my wildest dreams then here it is!)
I want to live in a very busy place in Tokyo next to the friends I will make and friendly shops. Have to make sure there's a small local restraunt that has a susi bar (and there must be sushi with crab there). I might also have another house in Arizona for when visiting America. AND I WILL EAT SUSHI AND TOFU AND RAMON NOODLES FOR BREAKFAST, 'CAUSE WHY NOT? I will be a famous rapper as part of a band of me and three others. Our band will be very close friends who help each other through thick and thin. I will continue to train in a dojo and teach some students. Writing will also be a job I will do in my limited free time. People won't judge me or unaccept me for being American and will accept the weird things about me that make me who I am. My parents will finally accept my dreams, country, and personality. I may find a partner in life and I may not. I will own 2-4 cats, 2 dogs, and a snake. The cats haven't been decided yet because I want to find just the right ones, but the dogs will be a male Japanese chin named Maxwell and a female German Shepard named Tori. The snake will probably be a type of cobra. I think I might name the cobra, "python" (YOLO!). I WILL SPOIL MY PETS AND FRIENDS because I will have plenty of money from my rapping career. I will wear awesome clothing brands like Japan Mastermind and will be a little gothic. So basically, I will wear whatever I want. I will stay in touch with my friends from America and even other countries and I will make friends all over the world! I will be an amazing runner who wins marathons and DESTROYS it in the gym, onstage, and in the dojo. And I will be mentally resolved. Of course there will be haters from time to time, but I will not have "anger issues" and won't have to hear people calling me an Asian and making fun of me and Japan. Those bullies will be proved wrong and I will have so much fun rappin' onstage with fire (and possibly getting a little fire in my hair just for the experience!) and signing autographs and meeting fans (I love people!). I will have a fun and adventurous life full of action and friends!

"I think I might name the cobra, "python" (YOLO!)"

YES DO THAT

…Mine is living in my parents basement for a few years, have a job in digital arts, and then finally getting married around 24 and hopefully travelling to Japan, Korea, and Spain….yeah, I don't have anything figured out…😂
