A few years ago I felt kinda lame whenever I had to “make a wish” blowing out birthday candles or whatnot and the only thing I could think of under pressure was “world peace”.

Since then, I’ve kept a wish ready to blurt out if I ever see a falling star or toss a coin into a fountain etc

For me, it’s sending my mind, with all my current knowledge and experience, back in time into my body at the moment I graduated high school, so I could re-live my life with more confidence, less anxiety and get straight into doing the cool bits of my life much earlier.

What would be your “back pocket wish”?

    I love yours, and have one almost identical to it. But it’s probably not one I would share with say, coworkers or casual friends. I have a “public and plausible” wish in addition to the fantastic and semi-private one. My public and plausible wish is usually that our lotto pool at work finally hits all the numbers. Considering the odds of that happening, it’s damned unlikely, but at least it’s theoretically possible. So maybe I should call it my “public and barely plausible wish”.
