Imagine sitting on the bench pictured in this post.
Now imagine, being able to choose to sit on this bench and talk to just one person for the whole day, who would that person be? The person can be anyone you choose, alive or dead, real or imagined, from the past, present, or future.
What would you talk about? Would you ask questions? Tell the person your aspirations? Dreams? Gripes?
For me, it will be probably my 13 year-old self... just to check if he will be proud of the choices I've made so far in life.

Probably not one whole day, but I'd love to have a few hours talking to J.K Rowling. Not a fan of Harry Potter but her life story is so inspirational!

@allen0187 Mainly the struggle she went through to become a writer, how she faced rejection and turned it into a huge success.

Wow! I've always wanted to have someone with whom I could talk like this.. Haven't yet met such a special person. In fact I love to talk to myself sitting alone. I imagine myself having achieved what I wanted to and telling about it to other people! When I am upset or have done some mistake, I sit alone and advise myself.

Definitely would be my late son, Ricky. I would talk about all that he missed. His little niece, Riki, named after him. How my mom beat cancer, oh just about everything!
