Would you rather ...
follow your dreams or become wealthy?
what if my dream is to become wealthy?
What if becoming wealthy means that I can follow my dreams??
What does 'wealthy' even mean???
retirement sounds really good
have a terrible boss and a good job or a good boss and a terrible job?
there's no such thing as a good job with a terrible boss. It cannot happen.
eat ice cream for breakfast or go to school in your pajamas?
ice cream
have no one show up to your wedding or your funeral?
funeral, of course - what would I care??
know what you will be doing five years in the future or take life as it comes?
wing it!
go a month without Instagram or Facebook?
either one would be fine. In fact, both would be fine. I'm getting close to shutting them down again pretty soon.
marry for love or for financial security?
I can hardly stop laughing to type... step in doggy poo or stay dry in a rainstorm?
is that even a question? Staying dry in a rainstorm would be strange but definitely not bad.
meet the girl of your dreams in ten years or meet ten girls now?
I'm doing pretty well without meeting any girls, really own all the clothes you could ever want or all the shoes?
clothes.care for your friend’s dog or baby?
talk like Batman or Mickey Mouse for the rest of the month?
Batman, naturally! The brooding aura is totally sexy.
travel the world with your partner or settle in a special spot of your own?
travel. Maybe not the whole world, but Hell yeah traveling rather than settling.
wear matching outfits with your BFF or get matching tattoos?
neither. Matching outfits on adults are a ridiculous mess, and matching tattoos are asking for troubles that I don't want to court.
work more hours and have a short commute or work fewer hours and have a long commute?
none of the above. I'm not the "commute" type—and more and more I'm not the "more hours" type, either. I believe that there should be a 'conscientious objector' status for employment.
[from here and adapted; the title quotation is by Franz Kafka, from The Castle, and reads in its entirety as below]
"I can't think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there's no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us anymore."
