It never seems like it at the time I know, but depression is a temporary state. There are come fairly simple, non-pharmaceutical, techniques that help. For me, it's doing something that helps someone else.

You trail off like its a bad thing, that's a good aspiration to have. Clear goals and a want for the future will help you more than you realize as you get older.

I want to be a published Writer. I'm already a writer but most of my work hasn't seen the light of day yet. My sister is helping me work on one of my stories which is a major boon because I have a small issue with staying focused on just one thing at a time. I handed out one of my pieces, just a couple of sample chapters to get critiqued on it. I wanted brutal honesty, what I got was a fan club which made me finally realize that I might just be good at this writing stuff. I did get some constructive criticism as well, which I adored, and has helped.

Sadly my dream is one that will never happen. I would love to create a Homeless Hub. Somewhere that has all the services needed in one place. One big issue with homelessness is that it is often a very complicates issue and the people need numerous services to get back on their feet but the services aren’t always easily accessible.
The homeless hub would have most if not all the services needed in one place. There would be five small gated communities 1. Rehab 2. Families 3. Women 4. Men and 5. Youths. The residents will help with cleaning and maintaining their own areas as well as the communal areas in their block. The communal blocks would include kitchen, dining, laundry, shower blocks and a small entertaining space with things like TV, deck of cards, some books etc. There will also be a roster where residents will cook dinner for the other residents in their block.
The services included are rehab, youth centre, access to GP and dentist through outsourcing, job networking and training services, education courses, financial councelling, family connections and reunions, psychology and councelling services, connections to disability services, computer room for studying, job search etc. Access to hairdresser/barber through outsourcing, help in finding permanent accommodation, get them in the community to volunteer and gain skills, domestic violence services, access to library books through outsourcing, organise forms and payments through centrelink, outsourcing pet care like kennel/cattery etc. A large donation area with clothes, shoes, household items, food etc for the residents to choose some items to help them get back on their feet.

My biggest dream... is to be able to move out of this awful row-house and into a detached structure, in a quiet (maybe rural) area. I deeply wish to finally experience peace & quiet, as well as a feeling of privacy and agency. I have no other ambitions in life other than to have peace of mind and no longer be suffering from constant fight-or-flight anxiety due to being surrounded by obnoxious, selfish, and ignorant people and their noise/smoke/litter/etc.
I should NEVER have bought this horrible house. I’ve been trapped here, financially, since 2005, due to being traumatized into disability by my former employers. I want to stop hating my mere existence. I’d probably be able to work on creative projects again if I wasn’t constantly in a state of hyper-vigilance and distraction.
Shared surfaces and densely populated living spaces are fundamentally inhumane. Dense population spaces create stress and make people hostile. Noise studies show this. Even if you think you’re fine, you really might not be.

I've often felt that the Universe shackled us with depression so we'd fit in with normal people. If we didn't have depression not only would we rule the world, we'd be freaking unstoppable. So I feel you. Dysthymia here. For, like, forever. I can't remember the last time I felt truly happy without that feeling that "the other shoe is going to drop". Can't I just enjoy a half-second of joy before you destroy it? <3 <3 <3 You are not alone.

You are loved. you are beautiful. You are amazing. You have the right to be proud of yourself. Do stuff you like. Find a new hobby that you think you would enjoy. You deserve to live a full life. Even if no one tells you, there is always someone out there who loves you. I don't know your life but I know that YOU ARE IMPORTANT 😘

I am a voluntary firefighter in Germany and I want this to never end. I love helping people and I love to be with my friends who all are firefighters too. It was by far the best decision i´ve ever made to sign in at the fire department and i never wanna leave again. I finally have the feeling to do something useful and I have found so many people I would trust blindly. It is just awesome...

Writing a book and maybe getting it published. I came up with the main characters ages ago as a kid, they continued to develop in my mind. I wrote a story with them as a kid and I want to include the story in my book as a prologue.
I've started on the book a couple of times, life gets in the way. Studies, work, family. It's not my biggest dream (that came true when I became a mom) but a remarkable dream anyway.

I want to be an illustrator.
I'm 14 years old, and I've been drawing since I was nine months old. It's always been a huge part of my life - I spend around 10 hours a day practicing.
I take commissions and design logos. I also have an online shop where I sell art prints, stickers, shirts, and the like. I absolutely love what I am doing and really hope I can turn this into a career when I'm older.

Hey dreamers, consider this advice... the world is full of kind people, so pick up the phone, reach out and ask for the help you need to get you started. “According to Steve Jobs, This One Thing Separates The Doers from The Dreamers” https://link.medium.com/wsir0jS5y7
