Before I fell asleep I had a lucid thought that I met a witch, or someone with the power to change anything, and she asked me to make a list of ten things that she’d grant. I honestly couldn’t think of anything. Or maybe I was wary of the power of my words, so I went to sleep without making a decision.

Either before or after this dream, I sat in a car with my friend discussing the age old question “if you could wish for anything what would it be?”

I blurted out the following:

My parents eternal health and to reverse their age by 20 years

My dogs continued happiness and immortality

And—-I can’t remember what else, but you get the gist of the grandiosity of my thinking. I mean, it’s a wish right? Go big. As big as possible.

And my friend? Her answer was:

Get out of debt

Own a house

She wished for things of that nature. I remember thinking to myself that she’s wasting her wishes on things that are achievable through one’s effort. Does she feel the same way about it? Or is she wishing for things she believes are beyond her limits? Or am I overthinking things, and did she merely tell me what she wanted out of life?

A wish is powerful. It holds power. Maybe that’s why I hesitated when my dream-witch asked me to get down to business, and say what I wanted to say.

I think if some magical cosmic entity really did offer to grant my wishes I’d be at a loss for words.

Words hold power too.

I wish for happy and beneficial blessings in my life, for the people I love, and for those who need love. How’s that? While I’m at it, I wish for health. Yeah?

I remember asking Jung Kook what he usually wishes for on his birthday, and he said he didn’t wish for anything because he couldn’t think of what to wish for. I thought that was a very Jungkook thing to say. Perhaps our answers to this question are a reflection of our mindset and state of being, what we believe is possible versus not, and daresay our character. (That’s getting deep and I don’t want to be deep.)

Dude. I want to sleep. That’s another wish. Blessings, health, sleep, love, Jung Kook, good food, and all the sensitive things I won’t tell you.

I’ll finish with this sentiment:
