275. Wishful Thinking: Write about a wish you have.
My mom often would impress upon us kids that she hoped that we would be a benefit to society rather than being a drain on it. I know I gave a similar sentiment to my kids but I think I have a slightly different stance. Because we spend so much time at work, I hope they find employment that is interesting to them and they find a work-life balance. I hope they find community where they feel seen and accepted. I hope they are curious about the world and pursue their interests. I hope they find peace in the skin they’re in and fend off familiar depression. I hope they contribute to rather than take away from people and the environment. I love them and hope for the best in all aspects of their lives. Their lives will look different from mine and I want to accept however they craft their paths.
