I want to blow off any steam I may have left from my exhausting day before I go for a job interview tomorrow! So I've turned on some easy listening (aka blues and some soft piano pieces)
Its been a week since I asked an important question to alot of people I know. And the first two words of almost everyone's answer,( and which I might add in here, there were NOT ALOT of answers. SO disappointed) was "I wish...."
Now someone I know used to say "I wish...." and then retract with "no wait, I wouldn't waste a wish on that." So with those words dancing around in my head and the answers I got to my question leads me to wonder, what is worth "wasting" a wish on? And how many wishes do we actually get, if any?
Is wishing our way of saying "I want to" or "I would have" but I was just too lazy, didn't have the drive... etc? Why do we wait to say "I wish..." instead of doing what we want, when we want? I understand that not all things are so simple, but isn't this where we would get to use the "I wish" card? For the things we truly can't do anything about? We can't change the past, but if in the moment you can pull your shit together enough to say " I know I'll regret it if I don't do this" why, why, WHY are we not doing it? When it comes to the present, why are we saying "I wish I could?" Where has the drive to be better, do better, to WANT more gone? To say the things we SHOULD say cause we might not get a second chance? To do the things we NEED to do cause we CAN? Instead of sitting on our asses playing the I wish card and living life with regret? I just dont get it.
Maybe its time we all made a list of the wishes we have and ask ourselves what we're "wasting" our wishes on. What things we could do, or say and just don't? How many of those wishes will turn into regret? Because those are the ones that really matter. We all have our reasons for making a wish instead of doing something, but I guess the question is; is the reason GOOD enough to live the rest of your life knowing you coulda, shoulda, woulda?
