What would your dream life be?

CrazyCatLady222

What would everyone's dream life be?

Mine would be a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone (apart from family), plenty of space, fields, stables etc 

and to spend the rest of my days rescuing neglected animals of all types and showing them what love/care actually is...

A little safe haven for all the abused and neglected animals where they can run and play, be with their families without being separated or hurt everyday.

I've dreamed of this my entire life and I like to think some day I will achieve that goal. Animals have been kinder and more understanding than most people have been toward me.

I feel like I can read animals better than most humans and cannot stand to see ANY of them mistreated.

Since I was a child I've wanted to save every single animal in horrid situations and bring them home with me. As I've gotten older, I have wanted it more and more, my Mum said it was a phase but 25 years later, I'm still heart set on achieving it... some day! Slight smile

  • As a child what you've described would absolutely be my dream life.

    But as an adult I know full well I haven't the capacity to lead that life. I love animals but I couldn't care for them completely myself and as much as I like the idea of being remote, I would struggle with things like shops being far away.

    So I'd like to live somewhere countrysidey with a nice cottage with the traditional beams etc. I'd need it to be close to somewhere more built up that I could go for shopping etc though so those things didn't become too much effort. I'd also like it to be within driving distance of the sea. I'd like to have horses and dogs and perhaps some other animals but I would need there to be people that helped with their care. 

    I do also enjoy and rely on tech so I couldn't live anywhere too remote in that respect either.

    Of course, everybody has different preferences and I think yours sounds lovely with the exception of shopping and tech! 

    I hate being surrounded by people at every turn, it makes me very uneasy and technology is not my friend lol but I am in no way putting your comment down! I really like imaging the cottage in the country with your horses and dogs! Slight smile

     ** also I think I overestimate myself in terms of what I could manage, I would love to save every animal in the world but also have to take into consideration my illnesses and how they would limit me and the knock on effect of perhaps doing more harm than good! I think I'm still in denial that I'm not as well as I used to be. The replies on this post have made me take that back into consideration and grounded me.

    You do get internet in the country, we have quite fast internet, they've just installed fibre optic cables. We even have at least 4G mobile coverage and you can get sky tv, although cable is very limitied, we even get shopping delieverd to remote places!

    I'd like to be away from other humans, not hear their noises or smell their smells.

    I wouldn't want beams, being tall I'm always worried I'll scalp myself on them, but I don't like those huge double height spaces either that you see on so many property programs with a lot of them I end up thinking 'what do you want all that space for?
