Recalling the time back in secondary, where the ups and downs taken place, one particular question hits the head real hard; “What would you wish for if you are given three wishes by the genie?” Well, with the rules of not allowed to ask for more wishes, we usually request for something we do not have, or perhaps more of something we already have; knowledge, wisdom, courage, power, money and many more. And of course, we tend to focus on what we don’t have. However, how often do we ask ourselves on what we have? There are those who live in their dreams, who live upon their dreams, who live heading towards their dreams and always, they are chasing after something they do not have, hence leaving what they already have far back, despite the fact that the original possession are actually more valuable compared to the ones they are now going after. Personally, the past, present and future would be the answer. We may not be who we were back then, but we are definitely who we are at this very second and we might not be who we are tomorrow. On the other hand, our possessions too changing from time to time, from friends to family, from joy to tears, from hardship to materialism; everything except our lives from past to future, for they are already fixed right from the moment we made our choice clear. We do not ask why we are not strong enough to run the execution in order to get rid of certain friends whom we care, why we even bother to ask for permission on staying overnight at one’s place and why we are not who we were yesterday; as it is simply due to the reason that we choose to, that our hearts choose to, that our souls want us to. We cherish what we are going through, be it hardship or happiness, and we cherish what we may soon to loose, be it a friend or a lifetime, but most importantly, we cherish what we have, be it a seat or a date.
