I want to live in a world ...

where alcoholic beverages don't make people drunk.
where people don't question others' expertise just because that expertise inconveniences them.
where cell phone conversations are limited to private areas like people's own homes, cubicles and parked cars. It is unacceptable to talk on a phone in a public restroom unless you have fallen, and you can't get up.
where drugs only heal.
where people don't expect me to act a certain way and assume crazy stuff about me if I don't.
where one can have a circle of friends who are there to help each other without the expectation of socializing.
where violence is a strange, incomprehensible part of history.
where money doesn't motivate; doing good motivates.
where all religion is tolerant.
where we don't have to make laws anymore because people do the right thing on their own.
where happy hour includes something to do besides drink and talk.
where there's someone to take care of my babies should I get real sick.
where someone, somewhere learns how to make a good purse. And pants. Good pants would be helpful.
where extroverts understand introverts. And introverts understand extreme introverts.
where state consititutions don't discriminate against gays and lesbians.
where I can go to a social gathering and not leave in tears.

But especially in a world

where someone will finally want to be with me. And I wouldn't push them away without intending to. I think if that was possible the rest wouldn't matter.

I wish I could be at peace with the chaos. I know being at peace is a choice. I just can't figure out how to choose it.
