'Cresting The Hill' Old People Say They've Gone 'Over' ... My Life Now is a Boring WISHMASTER-sequel

You know 'the WISHMASTER-movies'---someone discovers 'the genie,' but 'the genie' TRICKS them into wishing (either granting wishes that they're just randomly wishing--like 'I wish it were nice outside'--or giving them 'what they wish-for' in an unexpected, horrific way).
Well, I've gotten 'the life I wished-for,' but not the way I want it ... When I was young, I wished for a life where I could stay home all day & "play on the computer" (I was growing up before the Internet, but just after computers became 'a way to play 'computer-games' (LIKE video-games, but more like 'card-games on the computer')).
Oh, I LIKE going out and living a social-life; but ... I can't really have that AND 'the life I wished-for,' because 'having the life I wished-for' requires (at the moment) that I live too-far-to-walk away from any public social-spaces (like 'the art district' or 'the concert-venue' etc.)
Luckily, I can go to myLot (or YouTube or Facebook or Twitter) without having to 'get dressed up' and 'arrange for a ride there' etc.

What I wish for is simple:- A nice husband and a house in Cardiff. When I was at School my wish was to be an artist. I still want that too.

But would you give up on art to take up the house & husband?
I have a friend who loves his wife, but would leave here (without question) if staying with her meant he had to quit his job managing a grocery-store!

@mythociate I don't see why I couldn't do art AND have a nice house and husband. I dream of having a nice house with an art studio for me, or have enough bedrooms so I can use one as an art studio.

@sharonelton Because you don't want your kids to get into your equipment.
Or maybe husbands aren't attracted to girls who spend time art-ing.

Well, our wishes keep changing with the age and stages of the life. Right now, I just wish for a peaceful vacation in the mountains or on a beach without the fear of the virus troubling me. It's been a long since I had a vacation.

I might suggest you start 'hinting that your friends-and/or-relatives ought to send you to a vacation-retreat' even if they do not "take the hint," the hints you leave (writing here & there, sometimes commenting how nice it would be) should put your mind in a headspace of 'being READY to take a vacation.'

@mythociate That sounds good..something like the positive affirmations that we do in our meditation . It's actually powerful.
