The whole idea of presents, wanting and giving is a tricky one to deal with. I know that most of us, in the world that we live in, feel SO incredibly lucky and thankful for SO much; I, for one, feel that my life is fantastically rich in so many ways, sometimes I can't quite believe how lucky I am. Because of this, thoughts like 'oh, I wish someone would buy me that for Chritmas', or 'those new shoes would make me much happier' can seem a little absurd. However, wanting things is definitely a really normal part of life, and it can be fun to think about it, even if you just keep it to yourself!
I've been thinking a lot about what I would really wish for this Christmas. It's such a revealing thing of one's personality, admitting what you most want. I actually found that the more I thought about it, the more I realised that what I want most of all is not this dress, or that computer - these things are just not important to me. What IS important to me are things or ideas that I can probably only dream about, 'sky's the limit' kind of things. In my blogmas series, I have decided to include two similar posts: one will be about my more realistic, down-to-earth 'goals' and things I want for 2017 (coming up later), but for this one I decided to go completely unrealistic, bat-shit crazy because, well, sometimes we need to dream a little, right?! So, if I could wish for anything this Christmas, these are the wishes I would chose. You can decide how crazy you think they really are!
🌠 I wish for a 2nd Brexit Referendum.
🌠 I wish for the German Rail (Deutsche Bahn) to award me with a 'Bahn Card 100' for being such a loyal customer (this would mean that I could travel anywhere in the country, any time, for free).
🌠 I wish to be given a life-long loan of a beautiful baroque bow.
🌠 I wish for Donald Trump to stand down.
🌠 I wish for a real, broad, nurturing, varied education for everyone.
🌠 I wish for a gorgeous, massive, comfy bed that feels like you're lying on a cloud.
🌠 I wish for my family to forgive each other and come together.
🌠 I wish for the young people of the world to unite with one loud voice.
🌠 I wish for avocados to be half price all year round.
🌠 I wish to only make the right decisions that make the most sense.
