Her wish, examined honestly, asked questions she would spend years learning how to answer well.

New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
May the girls she admired never have to carry the weight of someone else's wishful thinking.
She wished, briefly; she listened, longer; she changed, lastingly — which is the right order.
The wish was a doorway, not a destination — and on the other side waited better understanding.
May the girl behind that wish grow into a woman who lifts other women, including herself.
She wished she were Black, and someone wise gently asked her what she really meant.
