When I was planning my birthday, my mother asked "what do you want for your birthday? A surprise? A steakhouse dinner? A one night stay in a five star hotel?"

I said, I wanted nothing.
But that's not true.

In fact, I had so many wishes for my birthday. It's just that, it's not tangible.

I'd give you a list right now, just so you know:

1. Nostalgia
2. The opportunity to travel to places that your mom forbid you to go to
3. A life-lasting love life
4. Melancholia

I no longer desire material things because they are temporal.
Intangible wishes, however, are eternal.

Choose your wishes wisely.
1.  It's a feeling that you will never get by buying something expensive. It gave that cozy, heartfelt feeling that money can never purchase. Nostalgia is priceless.

2. - Morocco is a dream to go to. Regardless of the chaos of this world, I'd like to shut any negativity and take myself there by imagining that I'm already there.

3. My constant wishing and begging to the universe that the love of my life looks like someone in particular gives me a very positive and hopeful vibe.  And also the fact that I constantly wish that he's a rebel and an INFP, makes me very very hopeful as well.

4. It's the biggest contributor of nostalgia.

Though the construction of my poem is not like a poem, I'll just see this as freestyle poetry.
