Wishes
The dropdown wished it were the descriptive text before it, not needing a click to reveal itself.
The text wished it were highlighted, so it could feel important.
The highlights wished they were copied, so they could live not only on the page.
The copies wished they were pasted, so they wouldn’t be held in memory to be forgotten.
The pasted wished they were committed into an input field, so they could change some possible future.
The input fields wished they weren’t so variable and could be more definitive and final, so they wished they were… dropdowns.
