The happiness of others. It would make me feel less sad
LOTS of things would make me happier. Some of them are like “A pet dolphin”. It sadly requires a bigger aquarium then manageable. So you can see why I see my life quite impossible.
I would say that food will make me happy. If I wasn’t constantly pressured about my looks and be conscious of what I eat, I would be happier than I am. I want to eat so muuuuch but I’m so self-conscious…
“Name one thing that would make you happier and would make you feel less sad or suicidal.”
I’m going to skip the obvious top three, and say: i would like to lack desire to be happy, and the need to be less sad, angry, and/or suicidal. I just want to not feel any of that. I want to not feel intense feelings of any kind, anymore. Give me mild and boring. I’ve had enough intense.
So i guess the simplified version of my one thing (which ranks 4th), would be: to just not feel, and not want. I want to lack desire of any kind (which some of you may noticed, creates a paradox…)
theoretically, i want freedom. practically, i want to get rid of connections with worldly things and people, i.e. they should not be able to affect my state of mind. (i wonder if they are one and the same thing)
when i was kid, i used to wonder about all kind of things. one of them was: if i am sentenced to life imprisonment, how am i gonna pass time? i concluded that i will make 3 demands to jail officials: a pack of crazy balls (i used to invent all kind of 1 person games with them), a bat (i was crazy about cricket) and infinite supply of a local bittersweet toffee.
well you post just set this memory off and made me compare these two wants separated by time.

I wish my back muscles wouldn’t spasm for no reason and cause me constant pain.
A constant supply of whiskey/ginger beer, vodka/lime, sparkling lemon and infinite baking ingredients so I could bake cookies at will.
Yes indeed.
Won’t solve everything; but it’ll keep me subdued-I mean happy, yes!

A better me.
If it makes you feel any better your comment made me giggle and it made me feel less crappy.

i want to have no sad emotions, like nothing in the world can make me feel like crap.
To have my health back and not be in chronic pain

Fundamentally: nothing and no one.
