What i want

I saw an instagram reel that said that today, June 24th, and tomorrow, June 25th, are the best days of the year for manifesting, and I’m very susceptible to that kind of thing. As a result I wrote this list.

I want to be very good at my job. I want to be a good journalist and to work with a lot of integrity. I want to produce stories that are essential to peoples’ understandings of the world. I want to know what’s going on, in the world and in my city and with my friends and with my family. I want my friends to know they can rely on me. I want to know I can rely on my friends. I want to make a place where people feel welcome and happy and warm and well-fed. I want to be engaged with my hobbies and work with my hands. I want to be responsible, to myself and other people. I want to make plans, and stick to them or try them and change them.

As always, I want each of these things every day:

A hug and a kiss

An idea or part of one or a clue

An hour to myself doing what I want to do

Some exercise

Some fresh air

Lots of good food

A hot drink

An opportunity for chance or surprise

I have that last part, what I’ll ideally get every day, posted above my bed. I missed you all!
