My ideal life at 80 has me living with people, potentially a significant other or my friends at this age. Hopefully I’d have done most of my big travel plans in my adult life and 70s but I can still see myself doing some occasional short traveling. However I see this point in my life as my grounded age where I am content being in one place or visiting my friends and family frequently which I wouldn’t consider travel. I hope to be as mobile as my grandma and still be able to take the bus alone and also live in a location with good public transportation services. My everyday life would be locally based with so much time outside where I can just relax at this point of my life. Outside I can go on walks, craft, paint, have company, read, and just enjoy being.
Overall, I want to be content when I’m 80, no regrets, and feeling fulfilled after a life long lived in all the ways that are important to me. A lot would have to happen before 80 for me to truly feel content with my life and that I’ve done all I’ve wanted to do in the many realms of life. And I think it can be scary to be unsure if you're ever going to get to that place of absolute contentment because it's not necessarily about having done everything but about your personal feelings and priorities of fulfillment. But to me that is the ultimate win and what I wish for everyone entering this stage, reaching that point of content.
