Disclaimer: I am not, contrary to the text displayed below, chronically unhappy with my life. I am content with my understanding eccentric family and my circles of friends. I am looking forward to growing old and grumpy in the presence of a special someone. The scenario explained in this post is the manifestation of a game played by Procrastination with his (yes, Procrastination is male, duh) cousins, Wishful Thinking, What-If and Day Dreaming.
I have one life. And I have not done anything about it. Yet.
But that does not stop me from wishing I had multiple lives at the same time so that I could devote time to whatever I wanted to. I will be graduating this April insha allah and become a certified "working woman". Though I'd enjoy the work, I do not care at all for the adult tag that comes free with job and responsibilities.
I want to work. But I am not ready to stop being a formal student. So I figured if multiple lives in parallel time-frame was possible, I could fulfil my desires and not wait till I have money in the bank balance or few grey hairs.
With Life A, I would work as a journalist in the Middle-East.
With Life B, I would work in documentary production.
With Life C, I would write a romance novel.
With Life D, I would study astronomy.
With Life E, I would learn languages such as Latin and Arabic.
With Life F, I would write a screenplay that would, of course, be made into an acclaimed film.
With Life G, I would study international relations and political science.
With Life H, I would travel all around the world and meet wonderful people and places.
With Life I, I would simply vegetate at home, sitting idle.
With Life J, I would marry soon, have well-behaved potty-trained children, irritate hubby, take care of my parents and siblings and gossip about the neighbourhood, matchmake and play pranks as a grandma.
With Life K, I would learn everything there is to about archaeology and re-visit history.
With Life L, I would study Physics as it has been one of my deepest regrets that I never devoted any attention to the subject in school and when I attempted to study it properly the day before my XIIth boards, I enjoyed it immensely!
In the past few minutes, I have found 12 lives I would not mind living if parallel lives were possible.
I may be able to attempt all these activities in this lifetime but I will not be able to do justice to all if I do it at the same time. And I want to do it now, not after retirement or my premature death.
My practical side reminds me that this is an impossibility. In that circumstance, it suffices to say that the one life in the one time-frame I am leading is also an enviable one and I am eternally grateful for that as well.
(Pssst...I thought of a Life M..or maybe a replacement for Life A...Make multiple lives in parallel time-frames a reality...)
