    'Other'.

    I believe life is ultimately about balance and everyone wants a bit of each of those things, albeit to varying degrees and notwithstanding the fact that it would of course be awfully difficult to achieve the perfect balance between everything on that list - especially if you included 'Be happy'.

    I know that I'll never be happy without the (physical) love of a man.

    Well it's pretty pathetic, frankly. Also extremely forward, hence the :lolwut: reaction

    You don't really know very much at all to be honest!

    "When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life." - John Lennon


    Now, what actually would make me happy is hard to say, and somewhat not-predictable right now.

    I don't think i'd count any of those things as my "goals" in life.

    It's definitely the cheesy option, but I just want to be happy in whatever i'm doing, whether other people would class what i'm doing as success or not.
    I'm at university, so obviously I want academic success, but that's more something i've just gotta get done, rather than a goal. But i'm happy doing the degree that I want to do, so i'm content for now!
    A family, well that's just something I never think about. I guess if it happens then it happens! it's sort of out of my hands. And probably not something I should be thinking about at 20 anyway haha.

    I'd say that my goal right now is to travel, for a long time! that's what I feel will make me happy so I want to do that, and that is something that is in my hands, it's up to me to make that happen!

    To chug along, keep on learning and keep on travelling, in no particular hurry.
    That sounds really lame, but sums it up in not too many words.
    Also I have no desire to have kids. Not bothered about marriage either.

    I just want to be happy. I don't care how I do it or where I end up, my ambition is just to be content with my life.

    I don't know why, or how, but my one ambition is the pursuit of money. Not because there's something I want to buy, or I want to travel first class, or I want an expensive car or something like that. I just want to feel like I *could* get anything if I wanted to. Like I'm better than other people.

    I know that makes me an insecure, antisocial twatface, but such is life.

    "The pursuit of money and possessions"? Eight people actually said this?
    I put other, becasue I felt that none of the options suited me. I just want to enjoy what I do and earn just enough to suport this. So its a little bit about the social life, but its not quite that answer.
