Wishes

In my next life, I want to be an aristocrat. Everyday, I'll discuss music, wine, literature, philosophy, society and government with other fellow academics and scholars. I want to be so powerful/influential that politicians are kept on their toes and can't help but to fulfil their duty to the citizens in the best way they can.

If I'm born into a Western family, I shall be famous at fencing. If I'm born in the East, I shall be a great martial artist. I aspire to be great at martial arts because my martial arts life this life is (nearly) over. I'll still be a daredevil and challenge boundaries. I want to rob the rich and give to the poor. I want to be a king and a pauper. To know how both feel. I want to throw lots of parties and also retreat to the mountains/a private island/sail out to the vast ocean when I am in the mood.

If I can, I'd like to be a vampire. To have superhuman strength and abilities. Cool.

Do birthday wishes come true? For the past 2 years, I've been wishing for the same thing. I wish and I wish and I wished. But reality and wishes run opposite to each other. Some forces are just beyond your control no matter how hard you wish.
