What's missing in your life right now. Let's say one thing, and it's pretty big. What would it be?

Asked by Jude (32198points) January 27th, 2010

We’re not talking—a new muffler for your car, or a bonus from work. Not that.

I’m talking intimacy, emotion, ambition, serenity, good health, excitement, etc.

Trust I used to enthusiastically the give people I love.
After many bitter years I went and gave my love and trust in ‘08 and then had it go to shite. Now I’m with a partner I love in so many ways and I want to give him the very best of myself but often fight with bad habits and old emotional hurts. I want to be able to trust mytself not to irrationally act up.

The ability to walk where and when I want easily. My bad knee, which is getting better after a shot from an orthopedics specialist, has had me limping around the house for the past two months.

control – i have no control over anything right now

augustlan's avatar

Let’s see… money or health, money or health? Hmmm. It’s a toughie, but if I had money, I could have health insurance. If I had health insurance, I could afford my medications, doctor’s visits, and some testing I really need. Then, my health might improve a little. Guess I’m going to have to go with money. :(

philosopher's avatar

@mattbrowne
LOL I hear you and agree. I wish others would.

phil196662's avatar

@Dibley – I think I will pm you…

Neizvestnaya's avatar

Trust for sure! I hate it when people tell me I should not be paranoid or insecure and then they give me reasons or they purposely do dishonor to me while dishonoring themselves.

rangerr's avatar

I take back my answer. All I need now is cuddle time.

philosopher's avatar

@Neizvestnaya
I feel as you do.
We live in a very pretentious world. People are emulating the Politicians. They bullshit so much they believe their own lies; but I do not.
I would like to make all Politicians compromise and stop speaking unrealistic party ideologies. I’d like to force people to tell the truth. I hate all deceitful people.
I see through all the hype.; and I am sickened by dishonest people that do have the integrity to be on the level.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

@philosopher,
You are better equipped and I envy anyone who can quickly read insincerity. I have this handicap of giving people the benefit of a doubt or wanting to trust them as much as possible because I feel not to trust or to become suspicious means there is something lacking in myself. It’s a bunch of idealistic bs to made to feel guilty for being leery or protective.

philosopher's avatar

@Neizvestnaya
Reading people well comes with life experience.
I am the Mother of an Autistic young Man. I have no choice.
America would benefit if we all stood up to the Politicians; and demanded solutions as opposed partisan nonsense.
People do not have to accept things as is. I see accepting things as is; as and easy way out. It is much harder to fight back for working people; but real change will only come when we do.
If people called their Senators and congressmen weekly. If people emailed them all the time. Demanding solutions they would have to listen.
America is a nation bulit on peoples desire to be free. To have a voice in how their nation is run.
