What's something you've always wanted to do, but haven't? Why?

Start my own business...It just never happened since starting and running a business in this place is a pain. Also I am kind of lazy.

Seriously get back into DJing and Production as well as making more long form video art.

Why I haven't?

  1. Writer's block.
  2. I firmly believe that everyone who has said they like my work is full of shit, even though they're likely not and it's just my own Self-Defeating nature and Depression trying to fuck me over.
  3. When those two combine they form the megazord known as "why fucking bother?"

I have starting finishing the second painting in my triptych series that I first started 5 years ago, so I'm counting that as progress to creating again. Secret Santa here helped a lot too as well, as choosing to create something was a big decision for me.

I’ve always wanted to sing in an opera and write a book.

I haven’t been able to do either so far because I’m in school and that takes up most of my time. Eventually, I think I will be able to do both, but I’ll just have to be patient.

I saw one once. It isn't as interesting as you think it'd be.

As for me: I've always wanted to go through Europe to visit friends and go to a show in the UK.
Why I can't: Too poor, lol.

I'd love to visit North Korea, but I don't much fancy the risk of getting kidnapped.

Also: actually do something with the ideas I have. I have this annoying tendency to come up with an idea, develop it, decide it's shit and then abandon it. Then someone else comes up with something similar and I curse myself.

Get raped in prison.

Why haven't I? Because my white privilege keeps preventing the cops ftom arresting me.

I could post a whole lot of edgy shit but I guess just write a novel. I feel my interests are too wildly different and I can't decide on a direction I want to take with it.

Bit of a late response to this post in particular but I can tell you it's kind of overrated. Also not fun to try and knock down a solid-core heavy duty front door with nothing but your own hands/feet/etc. It's a lot of technique but when you're in a big fat hurry keeping calm enough to do things right gets difficult.

Anyway, there are lots of things I've always wanted to do but haven't. I've wanted to be a published author, haven't because I have little confidence in my ability to write fiction and it hasn't really gotten better. I've kind of wanted to learn to dance but I'm so ridiculously self-conscious about it and kind of clumsy with that sort of thing that I've simply avoided it and told myself that I didn't actually want it. I've wanted to learn to play guitar (especially electric and bass), piano or violin well but shit's kind of expensive and I don't think it'd really go anywhere interesting (I don't want to be that faggot who keeps playing fucking Wonderwall, though I'd settle for being able to play parts of Roundabout flawlessly). I've wanted to learn to program/code for the purposes of making viddygames but the industry's a meatgrinder, I'm too prone to ideas-guying and feature-creeping instead of getting down to brass tacks and getting shit done, and my math and computer logic skills aren't super sharp.

EDIT: Honestly, being part of a Yes cover band for funsies sounds like a blast. Just don't put me on vocals.

I've always wanted to be fluent in four languages. Learning new languages has always been easy for me and I've learned a little of a few but being fluent was always a goal. The reason I haven't is not really knowing anyone in person who speaks any of the ones I wanted to learn so I can't practice in person. Duolingo helped a lot and I used that for long periods of time but ultimately not having people to speak to made it harder to achieve this goal. But I've learned a lot of basics, which was enjoyable :)

I found a dead patient once rather recently. It wasn't fun. I stood there for several minutes trying to make sure he wasn't just breathing lightly before I told somebody because that would be an embarrassing mistake.
