I keep coming back to this. There are lots of things I'd love to do, but nothing that I feel I *must* do before I die. When I came out, I vowed to try to live as fully and authentically as possible every day. For now, I get a lot of pleasure enjoying doing things with my partner and my kids. I hope we are able to visit some places together. I love to see the world through their eyes. My partner, especially, hasn't been to many places, nor have I, really. I hope to have the money and time to visit places in the US and throughout the world. The pleasure isn't just in seeing the sights, but seeing them with others and enjoying their enjoyment. And, in the end, I just hope to know that I lived simply, honestly, and loved as much as I could. My ideal future has a picture, also, of sitting on the porch with the one I love, just savoring the sunset together. Is that corny? It doesn't mean I don't want adventure, but I don't seek adrenaline for its own sake.
