Ripples

If you could have one wish:
I’ve always wished for time to stop at my command. Being able to control time would allow me to appreciate everything around me at my own pace.

What’s something you think more people should know or care about?
The importance of kindness. People are often so occupied with work and their lives that they neglect those around them, and when the opportunity to help someone arises, most people will wait for someone else to step up. I wouldn’t call them selfish, but there’s no harm in stopping for a minute to aid someone in need. Small acts of kindness can go a long way.

What’s something from your childhood you’re nostalgic about?
Dancing. Most people see dancing as a matter of skill, but for me it’s a means of expressing myself when words fail. Dance is able to communicate almost any emotion, and reminiscing about my ballet lessons as a child brings we warmth and happiness.

What’s a skill you’d like to learn?
I’d love to master the skill of cooking, if I ever have the time. It’s a practical skill—obviously, all humans need food, but we can also use it for enjoyment by whipping up my family’s favourite dishes.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
Reading people’s minds. I could reach out to those who are usually conservative and refuse to seek help, even when they’re desperate—most people often are afraid that they’ll burden others with their own problems.
