Topical Tuesday is back! (btw guys, I am LOVING the new design). And I am going to try my best at keeping up with it. I know I always say that, but I do mean it. I just find inspiration hard to come by these day.

So here we go:

Wish 1: I would wish for my dad to be able to walk again. the hardest thing about what happened was, as with any mistake or accident was the complete and utter unexpectedness of it. One day he was recovering from a routine operation and was planning on going back to work in a few days. The next, he was paralysed from the waste down. It is something, 7 years on is still hard to come to terms with for the whole family. It is easy to say get on with it and learn to live with it. But really, it is not that easy.

I would give up everything I own for my dad to be able to get up and walk across the room again. I know it’s impossible, but if I am going to wish, I might as well go for it.

Wish 2: As wish 1 only really serves my family, wish 2 would have to be for the greater good. World peace, a cure for cancer, an end to poverty, a solution to global warming. So much to choose from. I think I would choose to have hate never to have existed. The word, the emotion and the actions that stem for it. None of them would exist. I think we would live in a much better world without that word.

Wish 3: Another greater good one I suppose, although it would make my life a lot more easier. Acceptance. I would love for people to be willing to accept peoples choices and opinions, even if they didn’t like them. My opinion or lifestyle is not wrong or invalid just because it differs to yours. I am not trying to be awkward by not agreeing with you I am just trying to be my own person. With my own thoughts, choices and actions. I don’t try and tell you what to do or say. So don’t try it on me.

The last part of this weeks Topical Tuesday, is that to get the three wishes you must pay a penalty of significant enough magnitude to warrant the three wishes – or the Genie will deny them!

This is the hardest part. Is there anything I could sacrifice to get the three wishes come true? Is there anything I can give worthy? My sight? My hearing? All my possessions? None of it seems big enough.

I like Colins memory ‘clause’. Good memories are precious things. to have one taken would be a hard thing. Especially if you knew it had been taken. If a memory is taken and you have no memory of it or the joy it gave you then it isn’t so much of a price to pay. But having something taken away and experiencing the void that it leave would be tough to take. Get me?

I could give up a friend. Friends are something I treasure greatly and I would miss 1 as much as I would miss them all. While I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to stop me becoming friends with this person – all it would take is a small change to stop me meeting someone. Go to a different school or university, get a different job or not register on that site. One little change could take away a good friend. For which I would be lost without.

So that is what I would choose, a friendship.

If these do come true, if I do wake up in a few hours to find the genie has granted my wish. whatever friend you are, I will miss you.
