Day 151: Grass is Greener

Write about switching the place with someone or going to where it seems the “grass is greener”.

"I want to be a goddamn queen for real. I want to rule over a kingdom and bring peace and prosperity to all the lands in my domain," I said, loudly and proudly.

The genie smiled, sweetly and granted me my wish. 

It took some time to adjust to my new life, being a newly coronated queen and all. And I quickly realized ruling over a kingdom was more than just saying commands and expecting them to happen. 

To be a good queen, I had to first learn patience and being a good listener. Because as it turns out, being a queen requires you to listen to A LOT of people complaining. 

But I shouldn't be the one complaining. Sometimes all someone needs is a shoulder to cry on or an ear to bend. Even if it's the queen of an entire kingdom. 

It's definitely not all peeled grapes and palm frond fans but would I go back to my old life?

Yeah, I would actually.
