Day 23 -- 30 Days of Truth

Something you wish you had done in your life

I wish I had won the lottery.

Oh, how my life would be different.

I'd have the wedding of my dreams. Nothing too extravagant though. There's better uses of one's money than throwing a lavish wedding.

I'd probably move to Chicago, rather than have The Fiance move where I am, so that he can go to the broadcasting school of his dreams.

I'd start a foundation to give a portion of my money away to causes that are dear to my heart -- gay rights, urban youth, education and poverty. I'd also give to my church to help further the good work that they do.

I might even take some classes to improve my writing skills, with a few cooking courses thrown in for good measure.

Sigh. It's nice to dream, isn't it? But unfortunately we don't live in our dreams, but in our present reality, a reality full of hindrances to fulfilling one's passions.

I know that it won't always be like this. I'll eventually get to do most of the things I desire. It's just it would have all happened a lot sooner if I had just won the lottery.
