It’s been a while since I wrote a weird post (or even just a post, arghhh) so I’m hoping this brings me out of my writing slump. I should start off by saying that I am fairly broke at the moment but in many situations I have thought about how I’d pay to get out of weird situations. It is a weird list so I thought about sharing it here in the hopes that someone else might (hopefully) relate.

1. Therapy for people in my life who refuse to go for therapy but instead dump their trauma on people around them. I’ve met many people who badly need therapy (or an exorcism) to heal their inner demons but refuse to get help and instead pass on the demons to those around them.

2. A child free flight. I’m sorry if I offend my parent readers but I have not once enjoyed having a baby/child (<8 years) on my flight. I write this while on a flight and having been asked to exchange seats (which I paid extra for) with parents travelling with an infant. I adore kids but I dislike how most of the kids I’ve met on flights are badly mannered and create quite the ruckus. I also dislike (again no offense) how new parents demand to be treated specially on flights just cause they procreated. (I am not a kid hater. You can ask my friends. I adore their kids.)

3. The option to have a women only row for solo women travellers in flights/trains. Again, I don’t always hate sitting with men but I’d definitely prefer sitting with women when I travel alone. So many men sit weirdly spreading their leg into my seat’s space and I just find it awkward to tell them to sit better. Sometimes it is a genuine height issue but a lot of times I find men doing it on purpose. Overall I’d feel better sitting next to women.

4. Solo dining spaces like they have in Japan. I love going on solo dates. I love eating alone but find that many times my solo time isn’t as enjoyable because of noisy/loud groups in the restaurant. I honestly don’t expect them to behave differently because I’m the same way when I go out with my friends but I’d love it if cafes had a tiny section away from everyone for solo customers. I love how in Japan in such cafes you don’t even need to talk to the wait staff and can just order by writing down your order.

5. The citizenship of a country that is far away from all the crazy of the world – it doesn’t participate in world politics, has no religion, no wars, no political leader, very little population, and people lead a simple, slow life. I know I just described something totally crazy but when I see the craziness going on in the world and in my own country – I just crave to run away to a tropical island and be done with it all. I know, I know, this one is fairly far fetched.

I know this post is all over the place but I haven’t written a light, nonsensical post in a while so decided to start my March posts with one. What are some weird things that don’t exist but you’d pay for?

PS: if you have stuck around through my writing slump, thank you so much ❤️
