Things I’d Love to See in the Future.
Some are serious. Some are silly. A few are probably impossible. But if we’re allowed to dream, we might as well dream generously.

The Little Things I’d Love to See in the Future
I’d love to see a password
that works on the first try.
Not the second.
Not after three failed attempts,
an OTP,
a security question,
and a mild identity crisis.
The first try.
I’d love to finish reading
all the books I already own.
A charming fantasy.
Right up there with unicorns,
world peace,
and empty laundry baskets.
I’d love a gadget
that tells me why I walked into a room.
Because the room remembers.
The fan remembers.
The chair remembers.
Only I don’t.
I’d love family gatherings
where nobody asks,
“So, what’s next?”
What’s next is tea.
After that,
more tea.
I thought this was obvious.
I’d love my plants
to stop communicating
through dramatic leaf-dropping performances.
One tiny mistake
and suddenly they’re staging
a botanical protest.

The Bigger Dreams I’d Love to See in the Future
I’d love to see a world
where a child’s future
isn’t measured differently
because one is a boy
and the other is a girl.
The same respect.
The same opportunities.
The same sky.
Surely that’s not too much to ask.
I’d love to see people
stop comparing their lives
with everyone else’s.
Half the world’s unhappiness
comes from peeking over fences.
The other half
comes from social media.
I’d love to see the day
when “enough”
finally feels enough.
Not because ambition disappears.
But because gratitude
finally gets a turn to speak.
And then…
.
One Last Impossible Wish✨
I’d love to witness
the greatest miracle of all.
A perfectly folded fitted bedsheet.
No confusion.
No wrestling match.
No YouTube tutorial.
Just one calm human being
holding a neat rectangle of fabric
and behaving as if this is completely normal.
Will I live long enough
to see all these things?
Probably not.
But then again,
I once believed
I’d stop buying books
when I retired.
So it’s fair to say
my forecasting record
is not particularly impressive.

With love,
