When I was young, I wanted to change the world, but now that I'm nearly fifty, my only wish is to be able to make ends meet and not go hungry.

I'd like to meet someone nice while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.

Well it's tricky. What I really want is a house. I wish for a house.

But then I think, well , if I only have one wish I should probably use it on world peace or ending world hunger.

Maybe I wish for so much money (cougheloncough) that I can have a house AND end world hunger?

That’s the most realistic superhero origin story I’ve heard 😄

The “while I’m still young enough” part is doing a lot of emotional work here 😄

That my little boy continues to prove his consultant wrong and has a much longer, and happier, life than predicted.

Oh my love i can relate

id love to travel into the future and see my kids are alive , and are living some sort of life that is an approximation of happiness, fulfilment and pain free

Scotland to win the world cup?

Ok I can dream, but more seriously I'd like to see world peace and end all wars

From Scotland winning the World Cup to ending all wars… bro went from FIFA career mode to global admin settings 😄

Honestly, the second wish might be the harder one 😄

That my children have happy (or at least satisfying) long lives. And that I live long enough to know my grandchildren.

Don't think about it much, but - long term - to die before I get too old, sick or demented.

World socialism. The older I get the more left wing I become.

Me too.

For me and my family to be healthy. There is nothing more important then health

A beautifully simple wish… the kind that actually matters most in the end 🙂

Let’s hope life focuses more on the “good years” part for all of us 🙂

Health really is the one thing money can’t fully replace 😄

That I can heal from lifelong trauma and be healthy and give back positivity and love to the world.

If it's a wish just for me I would want to be pain free
