I wish I knew why I sometimes start crying out of nowhere.

I wish I weren’t as jealous as I am.

I wish I were ecstatic to be with you instead of just happy.

I wish I had been able to graduate on time.

I wish I were as brave as I used to be.

I wish you could adore me in the way I deserve to be adored.

I wish I were less emotional.

I wish you were more emotional.

I wish the thought of having to take out more loans for next year didn’t make me want to curl up into a ball and cry.

I wish I were happy.

I wish I were less honest.

I wish someone, anyone would hire me.

I wish I could move home or run away or do something that would make me feel like I was alive again.

I wish you loved me.

I wish I loved you.

I wish I could pretend that it doesn’t hurt when you joke about other girls and I know you’re being serious.

I wish I were badass enough not to care.
