If I Were to Reincarnate

Reincarnation. Quite an interesting topic. I've read a lot of books and articles about it. Possible proofs of reincarnation, in depth research, facts and fallacies. Whether it's true or not, it got me thinking, "what do i wanna be if i were to reincarnate?"

I wanna be the ocean. I wanna be deep and unpredictable. Like the ocean that's full of mysteries that are yet to be discovered. It's depth that only few people had close encounter. I can be calm and safe, but at times strong and dangerous. I wanna be a shelter to all aquatic animals. Feed them with all my might. I want my vastness to occupy majority of the earth's surface.

I wanna be the air too. I want all living creatures to need me. I wanna feel needed as their lives depend on me. I wanna be useful yet invisible. So no matter how i look, they won't bother knowing, for as long as i keep them alive.

I wanna be a rock. So i know that i came from a humble beginning. I am emotionless so no matter how others treat me, it won't matter. So i won't know how it feels while others are messing with me, stepping on me and throwing me whenever, wherever.

I wanna be a diamond. Beautiful and precious. A lot of people are dying to have me. I wanna be treated as something valuable and important. I want people to be afraid if they'll lose me. I wanna be out there, shining and proud.

Amidst everything, i still wanna be a human. Predictable at times. Vulnerable and weak. Imperfect yet still beautiful. I still wanna experience getting hurt, and remember how good it feels to be able to stand again, after being stooped down. I will commit mistakes, learn from it, then become a better version of my self.

There are lots of things i want to be, but being human is my favorite.

We aren't called the highest form of animals for no reason.
