Always wanted to live a small, simple life. Get rid of the excess and keep what’s important. Get more in touch with the environment. Maybe even have an outdoor shower.

A life without a job, time to explore, time to read, time to think, and a place to hike nearby – natural beauty helps, but that could come in any form – forest or city – and the freedom to go where and when I want. What a life – someday, someday

If you’re looking to avoid the zombie apocalypse, I estimate that 100 miles is still a bit too close for comfort. Your post brought to mind certain northwestern native American tribes that refer to entering a building as going “outside” and leaving a building for the natural world as going “inside”. My own aesthetic still aligns with this way of thinking, for the most part.

During the most scary/serious trip I made to the emergency room, I was desperately trying to get my mom to talk with me to help distract me from worrying about what my body was about to do (that it shouldn’t) or not do (that it should). I tried asking her what her ideal kitchen would be like, in her ideal home. Describe it to me, I asked. Well, it is different from what I’ve got now, that’s for sure. OK, I said, but give me details. I’d been consuming a fair amount of home porn in those days, so I tried to give her examples. Would you want one of those home vacuum systems that lets you just sweep stuff to the floorboards, and then you hit the button and it all gets sucked away? Would you want an 8-burner range with a retractable hood vent? Refridgerator and dish washer drawers at strategic food prep and clean-up spots around the room instead of all in one central place? Remember, mom, money’s no object. She dismissed all of those ideas. If money’s no object, she said, I don’t care what the kitchen’s like, because I won’t be in it. The servants will be using it, and they can get whatever they need and not bother me about it.

She kind of took the fun out of that game for me for a long while.

I’d want to catch the prevailing breezes and have plenty of room for the dogs to romp, a garden to grow, and a compost pile to keep it all green. Indoor space just needs to be big enough to accommodate a huge dining table so I can bring great groups of friends together to share meals and love, and a cozy bed where I can retreat & rule the world. I would like a bathroom all to myself, truth be told.
