    A Siamese cat. Every one I have ever met has had this wonderful personality, and I used to read this series of books by this English author about life with her Siamese cats. Sadly I’m allergic to cats.

    I had a couple of idols in my childhood I wanted to meet (technically three, but I kind of accepted the third would be out of the question). I met one, and am proud to say we’re great friends who regularly communicate, but the other one remained unmet, and a few years ago, he sadly committed suicide. RIP Jason David Frank.

    I wished I was more creatively inclined. Building stuff, playing music, drawing, the works. I’ve bounced off it a couple times since then but I’m at a job where I work with my hands now so I’m getting money and practice 😗

    I also wished I was a girl but that turned out to be more possible then I knew at the time

    Travel. I grew up in a working class family in a rich area and I was always jealous of the other kids spending time over the holidays skiing, going to Egypt, Italy, all sorts.

    I’ve ticked off a few countries now but almost all around Europe. I want to see more of the world, just not affordable at this stage in my life.

    I would have killed for an RC helicopter as a kid. I still kind of want one, but I know I’d crash it the first 15 seconds now.

    Not sure if you were going for answers more like “ice cream for dinner every night” or “not having glass bones and paper skin, not breaking my legs every morning and not breaking my arms every afternoon”.

    My frivolous answer is a balcony. My depressing answer is a best friend and/or a sister close to my age who is nice to me. OR for my dad to die. OR to wake up and learn that my life was a dream and I’m someone else.

    Idk, I was a depressing kid.

    Parental love and approval. I’ve learned to live without it, but there’s a hole there certainly.
