Take Two
This one. Not because it’s perfect. Not because it’s easy. But because it’s intentional. Sure, the novelty would wear off. I don’t expect the magic to feel quite the same the second time around. But I wouldn’t mind doing this again-not for the age itself( though being younger wouldn’t hurt), but for the age-ing if…

History in Real Time
Fascinating usually implies something wondrous and inspiring. It is used to describe captivating things-the really good ones. And while my wish it do just that. To engage your eyes and mind with something inspiring, today I can’t offer that. My heart is heavy. We are living through history. The kind that leaves children orphaned, cities…

You Don’t Know That You know
That there’s a lot we don’t know yet. And that’s not a bad thing. We’re all trying to make sense of this life-what it means, where it’s going and whether there’s something beyond it. Sure, there’s always someone who seems to know more( or at least sounds like they do). Maybe you’ve tried a few…

Take me Back
To not be an adult at heart. Ha-ha To be able to separate the adulting your body and brain need to do…and still hold onto joy. To not let the pressures of everyday life interfere with the core of who you are. To work and play with the same intensity-because you really don’t want to…

Maybe Later
I don’t know. Wait-just three? That feels… little. Not enough. Like I could use a few more wishes. But even with plenty, I’m afraid I don’t know what I’d wish for. Knowing myself, I’d probably waste the first two on trivial matters. Then panic on wish number three and try to fit everything in there.…

Unvisited, Unspoiled.
Is there a payment plan-maybe till I die? Or is it cash only? Can I bring family, or is this a solo trip? Have the fixed gravity yet, or will still be floating around with pop? And most importantly.. do I come back? I have so many more questions. But they are not just that.…

Working At Life. Differently.
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? I rolled my eyes at this at first. Because since I have been complaining about my career lately and how I got into it in the first place. They always ask what other career paths I am interested in. But what if I don’t…

Bread Alone
What food would you say is your specialty? Short answer: none. Long answer? I’ve got plenty. Plenty of reasons why, at this age, I have no specialty when it comes to food and cooking it/ Being a woman-yes, I know, we don’t stereotype anymore. Anybody can cook, everybody can work at the office, and women…

Bombs to Books
A Journey Through Memory. The first one that comes to mind is the 1998 bomb blast. To be honest, I didn’t remember the exact date as I was still quite young. But after checking, it happened on August 7, 1998. Nearly simultaneous bombs exploded in from of the American embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar…

Conforming Rebellion:
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? The Risk of Being Ourselves. A question that invites a list. A bucket list. A wish list. A catalog of goals and plans I have shelved for someday. But before I could list, I remembered something a random guy said on…
