The wonderful people in my life keep me going. I am driven by the beautiful things life has in store, hidden away just out of sight. I aim to be a little better every day, to give kindness to others and contribute to positive changes in the world at large.

Meaning of life? Its short and when it ends that is that so we aught to appreciate ourselves, what is around us, and to help others do the same. We are the universe experiencing itself through a intricate system of chemical reactions. I think that is meaning enough.

Don't have one, don't actually need one. Keep waking up every day one way or the other.

To establish enough commodity production to meet the needs of the population, and distribute it accordingly. That's really the whole end goal. Socialism is the means to achieve that.

More prescient medium-term goals are mitigating the effects of climate collapse and to decolonize the Global South. How do I contribute to those, as someone who lives in the Global South? By joining a union and buying a gun, basically.

Unironically, my subs top-use-words

Also, my desire to care for individual people in my small vicinity brought about by inspirations related to the first point (while me being a socialist does that on a more macro scale, but I'm actually kind of powerless to effect change there), as well as my desire to get good at math, with the proof being me doing math research.

I look at the infrastructure and think about how we should build it. Sometimes I tell people that building the infrastructure will be expensive, sometimes peoples tell me I'm wrong. Fuck do I wish I was wrong more often.

Playing every bideo gay ever released and writing silly goofy essays about them in my head no one will ever read while I involuntarily memorise every single texture and ui element indexed in my head permanently for no particular reason.

And cats cuddle

I want to take care of other trans people and help my community become stronger. Not sure I can do anything else for the world but I can do that.

I want to escape my abusive adoptive parents (and that entire dysfunctional family) and enjoy my hobbies.

Also probably go to therapy and maybe grad school
