For me right now, it would be to have a nice property in Florida with mango trees.

For me it would be to live in a little cottage in the countryside somewhere very quiet and peaceful. There would be no traffic as I would live down the end of a long track that did not go anywhere beyond my house. I would never have to listen to engine noises and no planes would fly overhead either. I would have lots of land where I could walk safely knowing that I didn't have to see any strangers or people who were unfriendly or dangerous. There would be no roads or fences and nothing ugly that humans had made. There would be forests and lots of trees, there would be a stream with water so clean and fresh it was always safe to drink, maybe a little waterfall with a pool where it was deep enough to swim. The sea would be in the distance but I could reach it in the shade of the forest that went all the way down to the shoreline. There would be a mountain or big hill that I climb up to see in all directions. The trees would be full of birds and there would be squirrels and deer and none of the wild animals would run away when they saw me coming. There would be no air pollution, it would be clean and sweet and fresh and the soil would be healthy and grow fresh fruits and vegetables. There would be fruit trees and nut trees too. I would have enough land and space to rescue as many animals that needed a home as I wanted, and all the animals would get on well and peacefully with another. If an animal became unwell I could get a vet that I trusted and I would always be able to afford to pay the vets bills, and the vet would always know the best and right thing to do to help the animal and never cause it any unnecessary pain or suffering. I wouldn't be afraid of UV light as in my heaven it would not give you skin cancer, so I could spend lots of time outside without being covered up or having to wear a hat all the time. I wouldn't be afraid of dying and of the few people in my life dying. I would live with someone who liked me and understood me and who never got angry or frustrated, someone who I could always trust to be friendly and who would help me when I needed help and someone who could also love the animals and birds and trees, someone to share the beauty and peace with. That person would not grow old or sick or die and I wouldn't have to worry about them getting impatient or bored with me and leaving to go and live with someone else. I wouldn't suffer from anxiety and constant worrying every minute of the day, I would be happy and free and not full of guilt and fears. Also, the downstairs floor of my cottage would be tiles so that when chickens and other animals came inside it would be easy to clean the floor, but upstairs it would have a carpet and be a cosy safe space that I could go to relax and read/write/sew. There would be enough time in every day to do all the things I would like to do, like going for long walks with my dogs, gathering firewood and fruits and nuts from the forest, and tending to all the rescued animals. I wouldn't be exhausted all the time. When I did meet people they would all be quiet, gentle, caring, thoughtful and friendly, they would smile and wave and say hello but I wouldn't feel disturbed by interacting with them. I wouldn't feel bad about myself. At night it would be perfectly dark and perfectly quiet, apart from the occasional hooting of the owls, and I would lie in bed looking out through my open window, listening to the faint sound of a gentle breeze in the trees and the stream, and looking up at all the stars, and my soul would feel alive again.
