THE 10 THINGS RENSKE REALLY WANTS TO BE ABLE TO DO BUT CAN'T DAMMIT

There are a whole lot of things I can't do, but that I would really like to be able to do. So I thought: let me write them down in a fun way! We can all have a laugh together. And besides, I truly believe that you can jinx things in reverse. So that you can suddenly DO something, precisely because you write down that you can't do it. Let's get started.

      1. So I just really, really want to be able to sing well. I don't necessarily need to break through, as long as I'm the absolute best at karaoke at parties and gatherings. By the way, I thought for a while that I could sing pretty well, until someone said to me: ‘Well. The neighbor can also sing pretty well.’
      2. Furthermore, I also really want beautiful, thick, curly hair. It seems so amazing to me to be able to swirl around with that all the time. I even want curly hair so badly that I can't really be good friends with someone who has curls.
      3. I also want to have an enormous vocabulary so that I can outsmart people all day long with amazing words.
      4. Oh, I also want to fully master a foreign language down to the finest details. It can be English, but preferably French or Spanish. I have a friend with an enormous, gigantic talent for languages and I can no longer stand that I don't understand her but still pretend that I REALLY do.
      5. Furthermore, I want to be able to draw well. Just as well as Josselin. When I had to draw an aquarium in sixth grade, the teacher asked what it was. And she didn't even recognize my fish.
      6. I want to be able to speed read too! It always looks very professional and then I can read everyone around me.
      7. I would also like to be able to travel back in time. For example, to the Nirvana concert in Paradiso. Or to the liberation in ’45. Or I would like to post in front of Anne Frank's door to prevent her from being discovered. Or maybe I should just take out Hitler right before he invades Poland. Yes, that's a good idea.
      8. I would also really like to be able to play guitar well. For obvious reasons, because once I can sing well, I obviously need to be able to accompany myself musically.
      9. I would also like to be able to magically tidy up the house in a flash. And then with the help of a magic wand, because magic wands are the ultimate accessories.
      10. Well, that's it. For now anyway. I am bursting every day with things I want to be able to do. It just keeps going, really. It drives me crazy.
