Arjan (76/365)

I would like an apartment. I finished school and moved out here for a job. I'm an engineer.

[astranger365]

Chris (75/365) I could do with more nature. I need more green space. I can't do with all this cement.

[astranger365]

Philip (74/365) I would like peace of mind, to relax, be able to feel that you don't have to worry about certain things. Mostly that my kids are going to be ok. Partly it's financial, that's an important part of it, but that they're happy. That makes you happy. 

You need to give them lots of love, security in themselves. The most important thing is that they feel confident. It they feel confident, then you know they can go anywhere, do anything. 

Someone once told me something that I really liked as well. What's the definition of happiness? Health, love, and something to dream about. 

It doesn't have to be big, just something to look forward to.

Carter (73/365)

Currently, I would really love to be closer to all of my family. I moved across the country from Boston and all my family is on the East Coast. 

I moved out for a job. It's a big adventure, a step in the right direction, hopefully. But I would love for all my extended family to be together. 

I'm working at a branding agency. I love it. Hopefully my brother will follow me out and live here. He's two years younger.

[astranger365]

Monique (72/365) I don't want much of anything. I have enough money, I have a nice job, I have a boyfriend of 33 years. I have a nice son of 16 years, a small apartment. We have a small apartment in the Pyrenees, a hostel that we rent. 

I don't want anything else, I'm ok. I'm still in good health. Everything's ok.

[astranger365]

Lucas (71/365) I want more kids. I have one. I'd like five. Four boys, one girl. Maybe two girls. 

I'm an only child, so that's part of it. I'm very family oriented, I love it. 

I think siblings help with being able to come about. You get a better sense of family with them, you know what I mean? I didn't have it growing up, wanting it so much, that's a big part of it. My wife and her brother are so fucking tight-knit. I wish I had it. So I'm going to create it.

[astranger365]

Christopher (70/365) Right now I'm trying to find my own type of success. But I want to find happiness. I've been down the last two years for some reason -- I don't know why, but I'm trying to get my life together. 

Happiness is whatever puts a smile on my face. Family, friends, I can't really describe happiness. It's just a feeling that you have to know to understand.

Ram (69/365)

[astranger365]

Amos (68/365) 

What do I want? Nothing. I'm cool.

[astranger365]

Virginia (67/365) I would like more free time with our family. My husband and I have a 19 year old son. 

I want more free time to travel. I love Europe; I love history, different cultures. 

I wish the world was a little safer so I could even see some things that are a little out of limits right now because of safety issues.

[astranger365]

Will (66/365) I want serenity. More time for the things I want to do instead of turning tricks for the Man. 

I've got a 12 year old and a 1 year old and I'd like to enjoy more time with them, experience the world through their eyes. 

I would love to do more writing, more reading, and more podcasting. My show is Netheads on smodcast.com - comics, movies, TV, the works. 

Or as I like to call it: every other podcast with two guys right now.

[astranger365]

Juan (65/365) What I want in life right now is prosperity for my parents. My father is 73 and my mother is 67, y es vida. ¿Que necesito en la vida? Llevar a mi gente a la tierra. Take them to earth. 

Other than that, a little piece of San Francisco that none of us have any more with this economic turmoil right now. My father immigrated from Mexico and he's here. He's not in Mexico, he's here. This is his life. 

If I have an opportunity to have a child or have kids, I want them to also know about what it is to live here. San Francisco right now is turning into one of the least kid-friendly cities in the whole Union of the United States. San Francisco needs to change its image for young people. I've worked in non-profits and I've worked with children. 

I'm one of those individuals that went back to college in my mid-twenties and I got to know that I really didn't know everything that I thought I knew.

[astranger365]

Hai (64/365) I want more free time. I would travel more and spend more time with my significant. 

I want to go to China and Italy. I've seen a lot of cool images on the internet.

[astranger365]

Shauna (63/365) I want more free time. I would travel more, enjoy the mountains.

[astranger365]

Ally (62/365) I'm going into grade 12, which is my last year of high school. 

I would want to have a perfect year. My life completely changes after grade 12. 

I want to always have fun, to be happy and I want to do well in school. 

I want to go to McGill or UVic and I want to study English.

[astranger365]

Amani (61/365)   I want a child, as God sees fit to give me.

[astranger365]

Timothy (60/365)  That's hard to answer. I got peace, serenity. I'm happy with myself. 

I grew up in church. I preach sometimes, focusing on transformation, love, and embrace of God. 

I stay connected to God.
