Yesterday’s sigma grindset post got me the idea to write down my current ideal, perfect endgame that I would love to achieve, at least for the archiving purposes to read it a few years later and laugh.
At the moment my perfect scenario would be returning back home for good, getting a small house or cabin in the countryside prepared for cold winters with necessary infrastructure and internet connection for streaming. Currently just feel like living in my own house away from cities, people, and noise preferably. Getting some farming going, greenhouse, some apple trees and berry bushes, maybe some chickens for egg supply. Resuming some of my abandoned hobbies, like beer brewing, adding some new ones, like I’d love to do some handmade stuff, maybe even blacksmithing? Obviously streaming everything as usual, a lot of space in the house and on the plot of land to arrange some streaming setups to do cool stuff. Main downside is that I can pretty much say goodbye to travels unless I find someone who would be able to take care of all the farming when I’m gone. With chickens even leaving for a little bit might become tricky already. So it’s a pretty serious and big commitment that at the moment I feel like I’m ready to make.
Way more streaming, since I could convert some of the farming into content, easy excuses to participate in some activities less often and on my terms, so I could just stream and game more. A bit of extra financial support with using your own little farm produce to save money. Many ideas of different content already if I’d get a good plot of land too, building some stuff myself maybe even.
Getting some place for my friends and family to visit and stay, getting a nice sauna, already can see some upgrades that I will be going for too. Just sitting next to a big window streaming all nice and cozy with lots of snow outside, seeing other houses with light in their windows and smoke out of their chimneys.
With my luck gonna end up with some crazy annoying neighbours and view on my own solid fence to minimize interactions with them. Still would probably take that over returning to the city life. Not completely against the city life still, but I feel like some monumental grass touching will do me good and getting some new hobbies and content will be generally pretty nice. It might be also just my subconscious desire to have some stable ground under my feet manifesting that way, since last almost 5 years were really damn unstable. Like just living on my own land the way I want probably appeals to me after all the travels and uncertainty, too bad it’s not gonna solve all the uncertainties on its own. Returning home is like the main issue at the moment in all this plan, because clown fiesta is still going and there’s no end in sight and no one knows what kind of end it will be.
On the side note I also want to get an aquarium with fishes like I had before my brother was born and parents gave it to our family friends, maybe even a cat (or two). Just to make sure I’m not going anywhere from that house at all I guess. Getting closer to nature maybe I’ll give fishing ago and foraging in the forest, even though for that I probably will go live for some time at my relatives in the deep countryside. Need to get the right skills to not kick the bucket after first mushroom harvest on my own. And again lots of things that could easily become content too (not me kicking the bucket of course), potentially pretty useful and educational too but at the very list chill and relaxing.
Noticed how streaming and content always present in the text? Well yeah, that’s also a part of my perfect living! Getting a house would also mean that I can keep renting out my apartment and that income + hopefully still something from streaming would (again hopefully) be enough for me to keep going full time streaming for decades. Settling down I’d also try to pick gamedev up, it was fun dipping my toes into it before, but in my current chaotic life I wouldn’t be able to focus on that, but chilling in one place should help. Won’t even need any stonks from that as long as I have enough from rent and streaming to cover my needs, just making something I’d feel like making.
Not even that much of a dream I feel, just need things to calm down at home and that’s a dream already, things to return to normal how it was before 2022 even more of a dream. Life is quite crazy nowadays, wouldn’t be surprised if my perfect endgame plan will be different after a couple of years. At least now there’s this post to remember and to compare, also post about grounded reality of planning now available to compare too.
