A. Aloneness

I aspire to embrace the word “aloneness” and find joy in solitude. While I don’t wish to be alone forever, I strive to feel comfortable and at peace when I am by myself.

B. Battle

In these times, we must fight our way through life’s challenges. It’s a constant struggle, but one that shapes our character and strength.

I. Irrationality

I’m tired of overthinking, planning, and rationalizing every aspect of life. Sometimes, it’s essential to live without overanalyzing, to truly feel and experience life.

L. Love

Love is the cornerstone of life. Love for oneself, for others, for work, for life, for the future, and for the past. It’s the key that unlocks the true essence of our existence.

F. Flight

I yearn to fly, both literally and metaphorically. To soar above life’s challenges and embrace the freedom that comes with it.

M. Mother

I long to strengthen my relationship with my mother. I wish for her health and happiness, as she is the foundation of my being.

C. Compassion

Compassion is the bridge that connects us all. I wish for people to be more compassionate, understanding, and forgiving towards one another. It’s the divine compassion that binds us together.

I. Independence

Independence is the freedom from the opinions and judgments of others. I strive to be true to myself, to belong only to me, and to be the sole judge of my actions. In childhood, we are often dependent on our environment, but as adults, we seek independence.

T. Truth

Truth is a rare commodity in today’s world. I crave genuine words, no matter how painful they may be. Truth stands in stark contrast to lies and deceit. I wish for people to speak the truth, to be authentic, and to embrace their true selves.

J. Joy

Joy is the key to a fulfilling life. It’s the driving force that propels us forward, enabling us to accomplish great things. However, joy is often elusive, and I wish for it to be ever-present in our lives.

M. Morning

Morning symbolizes a new beginning, a fresh start. It’s the dawn of a new day, filled with endless possibilities. I wish for the spirit of morning to reside within us, always looking forward to the future with hope and optimism.

F. Fatigue

Fatigue is a constant companion in our fast-paced lives. I wish for it to dissipate, leaving us refreshed and rejuvenated.

S. Stability

Stability is the anchor that keeps us grounded. While life’s unpredictability can be exciting, a certain level of stability is essential for our well-being. I wish for a balance between stability and the thrill of the unexpected.

C. Creativity

Creativity is the lifeblood of our existence. I wish for it to be ever-present in our lives, not just as a means of production but as a source of joy and fulfillment. May creativity infuse every aspect of our lives, bringing satisfaction and happiness.

I. Identity

Identity is the essence of who we are. It’s the sense of belonging to a family, a country, and an understanding of our place in the world. I wish for everyone to find their true identity and embrace it fully.

M. Me

I am me, unique and individual. I wish to understand my purpose, my goals, and my path in life. And as a playful note, “M” also stands for apples, which I happen to enjoy!
