Impossible Wishes (that sometimes make you truly sad anyway)

[rhubarbodendron]

I'd love to live forever. Life is just too much fun to stop.
It's not so much death I'm afraid of but the process of dying. Feeling how gradually the circulation stops, hand and feet getting colder, breathing gets difficult, the mind clouds over - not really my cup of tea. But there's no way around it and in less than 20 years I'll have to go through it all.

I've always wished I could examine alternate timelines. Given they would probably be near-infinite, there would have to be some pretty interesting ones, even if I could only visit ones that branch off my own lifetime.

What's my world like in a universe where, in fifth grade, I realized that a cute girl having a crush on me was a GOOD thing, not an icky one?
What's my world like in a universe where my first love survived her accident? Or missed it altogether?
Or a universe where it was possible for me to be with my second love at all. (Not one where she was engaged to and married someone else, and passed away a couple years ago.)

On the other hand, such an ability could go REALLY wrong, like Annorax wrong, as the obsession to find the "perfect" timeline could take over.

Damn just thinking about it depresses me now.

That's very sad to hear. I'm sorry both your first loves passed away

It'd be interesting to see other possibilities.

It's one thing I'd like to change about my past if I could, but without changing anything else to avoid the Annorax issues. Maybe things would have went nowhere--but it's not even trying that's just bugging the hell out of me right now. An unanswered question when it comes to romance is a very difficult thing. What might have been?

I remained friends with two of my old flames. When each lady got married, they invited me to their weddings. Both married older men — majorly older. Both marriages ended after a few years. And both ladies ended up "playing for the other team".

I'm starting to think I ALREADY live in the Mirror Universe.

On the bright side, I've been with my THIRD love since 1997. Without the previous heartaches, I might not have become the person who could be with her. It ain't ALL bad.

Both marriages ended after a few years. And both ladies ended up "playing for the other team".

Ah, I had one of those. Girl I dated for a few months in grad school.
Before me: "I kinda thought about becoming a nun."
After me: "I like girls now."

I wish I had hair like Jeff Bridges.

When I go, I want to go peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.

Not screaming in terror, like his passengers.

(Sorry, old joke...)

I wouldn't mind having Jeff Bridges - nice pics.

I often wish that there had been a couple of seasons of Dr Who produced by Glen A Larson. Star Trek too.

 

[Armus]

^I may like that. When I think of Glen Larson, I think the original Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, late 70s, g-rated family entertainment, Star Wars fever, skin tight jumpsuits, and disco. Good memories from a more innocent time.

Not to mention a better time.

 

[Butters]

Another silly recurring daydream of mine is that some things lasted longer, maybe just long enough for me to have experienced them.

I some times wish that I could time travel to just a couple of years before I was born. Or have an extensive recreation of the past to explore. I imagine that I’d be disappointed.

I sometimes wish for & often wonder what life would be like if music were more than just an art or pastime, but were in fact woven into our very language. How much better we might understand one another if we expressed ourselves musically. It is a communicative construct that's sole purpose is to convey emotional content in ways words often fail

If aliens came to Earth, & made contact with me. I sure as hell wouldn't just try to speak to them. In order for a fuller connection to be made, I'd need to play an instrument

I love the music for The Mission.

It would be pretty neat if everything had embedded music in it, too. You'd look at a rock and hear its song, a tree and hear its song, close up on a single leaf and hear its song or maybe just its part of the tree's song.

That's what birds and nature sounds are for imho. Every outdoor area has its own sound & there's a music in it, if you kind of appreciate it that way

I can get that. But I meant everything, not just "nature". What I was saying for a tree and a leaf would also apply to a car and individual parts of that, for instance.

Your wish is my command:
