What's your "back pocket" wish? (lemmy.world)

A few years ago I felt kinda lame whenever I had to "make a wish" blowing out birthday candles or whatnot and the only thing I could think of under pressure was "world peace".

Since then, I've kept a wish ready to blurt out if I ever see a falling star or toss a coin into a fountain etc

For me, it's sending my mind, with all my current knowledge and experience, back in time into my body at the moment I graduated high school, so I could re-live my life with more confidence, less anxiety and get straight into doing the cool bits of my life much earlier.

What would be your "back pocket wish"?

What would be your "back pocket wish"?

That nobody is guilt tripped into making wishes on their birthday to satisfy social norms.

Check mate atheists.

"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.”

How has that got anything to do with religion?

Not everything on the internet is meant to be taken seriously 🙄.
