In a perfect world:
- All boys give hugs without being asked and don't let go until someone else does first.
- Every romantic lovesong is sung by Corey Taylor (at least in my head. He has a perfect voice).
- No movies are directed by Judd Apatow or Tim Burton.
- Laughter is endless and unable to shut down without herculean effort.
- Money doesn't grow on trees but things are more evenly distributed.
- Lochlan has no temper.
- Neither does (did?) Cole.
- Jake would have had no despair, no hopelessness to offset his flawed faith.
- Jake's faith would have been whole and perfect.
- Sam would not be restless, but content.
- Ruth and Henry are always safe, forever and ever, amen.
- I can park a car without a ten-foot buffer zone in all directions.
- Cotton candy doesn't make my teeth hurt.
- PJ finds what he is seeking.
- I'm not allergic to sunscreen, fabric softener, food coloring or red wine.
- The beach is closer and there are no oil tankers in the harbor (wtf Vancouver?)
- The Atlantic and the Pacific don't have to fight for my loyalty.
- Chocolate cheesecake is easier to find.
- My favorite television show (Revolution) moves to 7:00 PM instead of 10:00.
- My narcolepsy gets cured by something stupid, like chocolate cake. (Sadly I tried this already and it did not work.)
- Caleb would find a hobby (besides making money, collecting things and...chasing me.)
- The wind would disappear.
- The cherry blossoms would stay up in the trees where they belong.
- I wouldn't have to wait so long for the third book in the Divergent series.
- Ben would retire now instead of in thirty years time.
- August would come back.
- I am never sad about things beyond my control.
- God pays attention to me.
- I can hear. I can hear you. I can hear everything.
