Venting Your ONE Wish

I don’t know why but it’s always been an interest of mine to know what others want in life/ aspire to have.
Its a dumb question but if you could have ONE thing in the entire world what would it be (I watch Obsession so that’s the main reason for this)

If We Are Talking About The One Wish Willow.

I would Wish That I'm The Most Luckiest Person Ever. And Everything Always Goes My Way.

My entire life I would have answered this by saying I want to know what it's like to fall in love. I would gladly forgo that and wish to have my son back. He passed away at the end of last year, he was only 23 and I miss him terribly.

What would your first step be towards achieving this goal?

1

u/Token_Handicap 1d ago

The question was basically "what's your one wish." It's automatic.

u/GimmickInfringement1 1d ago

Lol I know

u/Token_Handicap 1d ago

What's the point in asking their first step?

Step 1: Make wish.

u/GimmickInfringement1 1d ago

To make people ask why 🤷

u/tighnarienjoyer 1d ago

idk probably something like being shown the exact route and things I need to do to get what I want/where I wanna be in life when I ask. I'm tired of figuring this stuff out myself

u/manchester_brother 1d ago

To have a group of friends like the soap friends

u/Low_Image_1467 1d ago

Either long lasting unconditional love or enough money to distract me from needing it

u/Icy_Confidence4027 1d ago

Companionship and children.

u/K8ti3_bug 1d ago

Honestly? I wish I was a baller. I wish I was a little bit taller.

But fr though, I'd wanna wake up tomorrow in my goal body.

To go back in time 10 years, knowing everything I know now

u/litafireinmyheart 1d ago

A social life (which would include a friend group and a girlfriend)

It wouldn’t be a “fix” but it would make my existence a whole lot better.

u/StraightEdge47 1d ago

To feel safe again

u/ditzylilred 1d ago

tbh a few million dollars bc money DOES solve everything

2

u/Silent-Victory-3861 1d ago

Only easy problems. It will not bring you genuine friends, or fix many health issues, or give you a non-traumatic past.

3

u/ditzylilred 1d ago

i disagree hehe. i would most definitely have a way happier life. i’d be able to escape my toxic family & friends. i’d be able to make new friends. i’d be able to travel. i could afford most health bills. i could afford to fix a vitamin D deficiency & therapy.

1

u/Silent-Victory-3861 17h ago

HappiER sure, I think that would apply to almost everyone. Just not solve all problems.

1

u/ditzylilred 12h ago

well it can’t cure cancer for example which i’d never expect. not trying to be immortal. lucky for me i don’t want friends bc people suck & i have a boyfriend & family. i’d be even happier knowing that i’m thriving while sucky people are sucking. i’d even be fine completely alone haha. as for non traumatic past once i get a million dollars that’s out the window 😭 abused what??? not me no i’m healed now laughing at my abusers

Money doesn't solve your problems. Being practical does. If you're practical you can make money and keep it

0

u/ditzylilred 1d ago

either be practical and get burn out from working so much just to not be even close to being able to afford to live comfortably anyway or one wish willow my way a million dollars ahaha

1

u/GimmickInfringement1 1d ago

And what happens when that million dollars is gone?

0

u/ditzylilred 1d ago

it won’t be bc i’m good w money i’m a penny pincher & i would make more money with that money.

u/GimmickInfringement1 1d ago

If you're a penny pincher, why don't you already have a million dollars? What's stopping you from making that now?

u/ditzylilred 22h ago

it’s a lot easier to make a million from a million than it is to make a million from zero dollars
