Writer's Block: Carpe Diem

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I usually try my best to not think ahead. I mean, I plan for the short-term - maybe about two weeks in advance. In other words, from one paycheck to the next. But I don't have any long-term goals or plans.

In a way, it's liberating. I have no obligations to meet or expectations for the future in which to be disappointed. I don't worry about whether or not something will or won't happen. At my present state of incarnation, I cannot control the future - so why bother thinking or worrying about it?

The downside is that I have nothing to bring me fulfillment, and nothing which to look forward.

Wishes

I think I may have an actual wish that would work.

If I wished for the ability to comprehend, speak, read and write any human language I encountered, without being turned into a computer or reverted to a pre-lingual infant state, I might actually get my wish without any unforeseen and nasty side effects.
