What I really Want

[ellenmillion]

I want to open an artists 'colony'. Just 3 or 5 cabins, and a big, sunny, shared studio. Cheap rent, just to cover taxes and bills, and a whole lot of common equipment and shared space and dreams. Plenty of space, so that everyone can be as private or social as they like.

Thats's not what I really want, though.

I really want the kind of world to exist where I don't have to realize that this has a high probability of being the kind of deal where I would get taken advantage of, and people wouldn't get along and the equipment would be abused at best, and stolen at worst, and our privacy would be ruined, and the dream would be soured, and I would regret the time and effort I put into it.

I want the kind of world where people are... nice. And careful of others, and honest. And understand social responsibility. I want the kind of world where I don't wonder if what I see of a person is really what they are, and I can trust them at once, with everything, without wondering if I am only giving them tools towards my own destruction. I would like to live in a world where everyone is honestly working towards the same goals.

That's what I really want.

Here here!

I don't think I could add anything to your statement. All I know is that I'm tired of hurt, and I'm tired of dishonesty and negativity and lies. I'm just glad that the people I -do- know are mostly of the good kind.

Here's to making the world a better place in the best way we can! ;)

I'll come and live in a log cabin and do art stuff with you - but I'd prolly spend most of my time hanging over your shoulder to see what you're doing...

Amen to that. I'll be too restless for the colony though, I'm too connected to the outside world sometimes.

This in particular has been something of a desire of mine for a while now, too.
