would you rather

be able to fly?

or breathe underwater?

i was wondering this tonight.

a lot of you have the same internal dialogue i do about it. ive always said, if i could have one superpower it would be to fly. but then there is also the ability to transport yourself somewhere in seconds, clean up the house with the wiggle of a nose, eat and not gain weight, grow a money tree, be a fly on a wall, and breathe underwater.

decisions, decisions.

  1. I would have to say- breathe under water- like when we were in the womb. I always seem to feel sick when I fly- as though I have altitude sickness and water is such a calming thing for me. I am an aquarius so that might have something to do with it, plus I have always had a deep passion and love of the ocean. I can feel it now- breathing underwater, floating, swimming dreaming! Thanks for the vision :)

  2. To be able to fly without having to be inside of an airplane would rock. The idea of breathing underwater is pretty cool, except for the fact that you can get attacked by a shark or an alligator, and let’s face it…that’s just a bit unnerving haha great question

  3. Wow that question brings back a memory that I haven’t thought about in a LONG time. When my daughter was little (now 12)wrote in her journal that she wished she could fly so that when we were apart she could find me to give me a kiss so I didn’t miss her too much. So I wish I could fly…

  4. fly. then all of my old school college friends wouldn’t feel so far away.
    have you ever heard William Fitzsimmons? his music was making me think of living underwater today, especially the song “it’s not true.” you can hear it on his myspace page.

  5. What a great question! My instinct said “fly” but then the practical part of me said breathing underwater is another way not to die. So to me personally, it was almost an analogy of going for your dreams or being practical/safe/secure and now I don’t have an answer!

  6. Definitely FLY! I have these recurring dreams that I can sort of bounce/fly?! Like I can leap and then stay up and keep moving. Anyway, those dreams are so delicious and I always wake up disappointed and in disbelief that I can’t actually do it! Weird, I know.

  7. I like the teleport blink super power. I can’t remember who mentioned it, but I remember reading it at CK. I am totally all over that super power. and If I could use it on others… like blink, kids at school. blink, door to door sales people somewhere else. blink, loud, rough teens talking trash at the playground in detention!

  8. Tara,
    Now if you had to pick between the “gift of flight” or “a tail”,… hey, hands down, I’d pick “a tail”. That way people could tell if you’re happy. Hey look, here comes Tara, she’s really happy! Look at her tail!

    Hee Hee

  9. Am I the only one longing for a clean house with just a wiggle of the nose? Sounds like bliss. I can hop on an airplane but I can never seem to keep the house tidy!

  10. flying for sure. my most favorite dreams are those where i fly. always at night and always among the trees. but i used to wish i was samantha many moons ago when i was little. just a tiny nose wriggle. thats all you need.
