A crystal ball.

It would be utterly fabulous to have a crystal ball don't you think? But then at the same time the most selfish and soul consuming thing you could ever attempt to own. It is a more fabulous thought in my opinion to know that walking around on this tiny blue planet right now is the person you will one day love, or one day because very best of friends with. How bizarre the puzzle of life is cut that if you were to see them in the street today you wouldn't pay them any more attention than anyone else, but one day you will be scared of not knowing them.

Some religious believers prosper in the thought that God has planned each of us our own path in life that will teach us lessons and reward us along the way; that everything has been foretold. I couldn't and wouldn't want to ever believe that my future is "predictable". I want it to be spontaneous and exciting. I want my path to twist and turn and to teach myself by the painful process of failure and heartbreak. I think that when opportunity knocks, you should welcome it in and give it the most comfortable of stays.
