Today I'm going to do something a little different. My friend Tara AKA tuliptishuebox has done a 'Three Wishes' blog post, and has cordially invited me to do the same, so I am going to do one too! As a side-note, I wrote this blog post at work before reading Tara's post, so any similarities are completely coincidental!
Basically, I'm answering the age-old question: If you had three wishes, what would they be? I'm going to operate under the assumption that more wishes is not an option, because that takes away from the fun of having only three!
Before I get into my actual wishes, there are a couple wishes that I had initially thought of but eliminated First, time travel. Seems lie a fantastic idea at first, until you mess up your future or create a paradox or rip a hole in the space-time continuum or something. No, thanks!
The other one was constant and eternal happiness. People have feelings for a reason! Plus, you guys know that I'm a big believer in the human experience and embracing everything, including emotions like sadness and anger. Not to mention that people who are just bubbly and happy all the time are kind of annoying to people who are experiencing other emotions.
All right, so now that that's out of the way, what would I actually wish for?
My first wish would be to have the ability to teleport. This is something that I have put literally years of thought into. There would be so many perks! You could leave to go somewhere almost exactly when you need to be there - which would significantly increase the amount of time you had to get ready! You could go from Canada to Australia to South Africa, all in one day, and be back in time to sleep in your own bed! Not to mention all the gas money you'd save!
My second wish would be for myself and those I love to maintain good health. I'm not talking about never getting a cold or the flu or something - though that would be pretty cool too. No, I'm not talking about never dying, because human experience blah blah blah. I just mean that if I can like, not get a terminal illness or something when I'm like 40, that'd be cool. If I could be relatively healthy when I'm like 80 and die peacefully in my sleep or something, awesome. Obviously, I want the same for those around me.
Finally, I think my last wish would be to be remembered, at least for a little while. I realize that this might be difficult, especially to be remembered as a whole person and not just a fragment of one (see: On Being Forgotten), but it's a wish and I can ask for whatever I want, so there.
There you have it, my three wishes. I don't really know any other bloggers, but if you're a blogger and you're reading this, I encourage you to give this a shot! It's harder than you think!
If you do it, send me a link in the comments or on Twitter: @amyleighallain, and I'll link to you in my next post!
Happy Saturday! <3
