Buying more seeds than I can plant.

Doing something slowly with my hands.

The 7:10 train. Please.

What will change?
I don't know. I hope I'll still be drawing for a living, even if the job looks different.
What will you leave behind?
Comparing every sketch to something generated in ten seconds.
What do you hope to keep?
The messy sketchbooks. Especially the bad pages.

What will change?
Honestly, I hope AI eats the spreadsheets, not my job. I want to finish work before dinner.
What will you leave behind?
Checking work messages in bed. I'm bad at this.
What do you hope to keep?
Sunday lunch at mum's. And my very unproductive walks.

Lily

Sep 10, 2026

I want a smaller life, not a faster one. More plants, less stuff, maybe a dog.
What will you leave behind?
Turning every hobby into a side hustle.
What do you hope to keep?
Singing badly while I wash the dishes.

June

Sep 4, 2026
What will change?
Less certain about my career, more certain about myself. That would be enough.
What will you leave behind?
Letting my inbox decide whether it was a good day.
What do you hope to keep?
My own voice. And the people who recognise it.

I'll be 60. I'm trying these new tools, mostly so I can understand what my grandkids are talking about.
What will you leave behind?
Being embarrassed to ask basic questions.
What do you hope to keep?
Writing birthday cards by hand.

Alex

Sep 8, 2026
What will change?
Maybe I'll live near the sea. No clever prediction, just something I keep thinking about.
What will you leave behind?
Scrolling until 2am because tomorrow feels too soon.
What do you hope to keep?
Long walks with no podcast and no destination.

Irene

Sep 19, 2026
What will change?
I hope for new personal joys that make me — and the people close to me — happy.
What will you leave behind?
Fear. I want to feel free to do whatever I want, change my plans, and be spontaneous.
What do you hope to keep?
My work. I hope AI helps me do it better, but doesn’t take away everything I still love doing myself.

Priya

Sep 16, 2026
What will change?
My daughter will start school. That feels bigger than any AI news, honestly.
What will you leave behind?
Feeling guilty when I do nothing for an afternoon.
What do you hope to keep?
Reading her a story myself, even if a robot could do the voices better.

Noah

Sep 11, 2026
What will change?
Graduation, hopefully. I use AI to study but I'm still not sure what work I'll find.
What will you leave behind?
Pretending I have a five-year plan.
What do you hope to keep?
My friends from the library. We mostly talk, to be fair.
