Droplets from the Inkwell

Blog Prompt for 23 November 2012

If you could have three wishes, what would they be?

Have you ever noticed that this is a popular question in many scenarios? I suppose it makes sense, because it gives a good indication into the kinds of thing that you value and otherwise consider important. Which is also why there's usually the unwritten -- or often explicitly stated -- rule that you can't wish for more wishes. You only get three, so you have to prioritize. So here's my attempt.

I think my first wish would be a selfless one. (Don't worry, I'll turn selfish with my second wish.) I would wish for the end of economic inequality in the world so that everyone has the means to feed themselves, keep themselves clothed, keep a roof over their heads, and maintain their health. I thought about calling for an end to the kyriarchy  , but I decided that taking care of basic needs through economic stability for everyone would be even more important. (Of course, in reality, the two issues are often interwoven to the point of being inseparable.)

Having spent my first wish on helping create more economic justice in the world, I'd claim my right to take care of my biggest personal desire at the moment. With my second wish, I would wish for my perfect boyfriend. You know, a guy who is attractive, caring, adventurous, a little aggressive in the bedroom (not to mention an insatiable top), yet loyal and compassionate as well. Someone who wows me almost as much as he's into me.

For my third wish, I'd wish to be a published author who's novels and other writings sold enough copies that I could either quit my "day job" or at least start working it part time and focusing more time on my future writing projects. This would give me a great sense of personal accomplishment.
