Things I Wish

That I could love my body.
That I could stop eating junk food to lose weight so I could love my body.
That my daughter doesn’t hate her body.
That my daughter never gets sexually assaulted.
That my daughter has the confidence to stand up for herself and that she dates people who respect that.
That my son becomes a man who will stand up to his friends if he sees them behaving in a way that would be disrespectful to others.
That both of my children become strong, successful, happy, and independent adults.
That I will have given my children the skills they need to be independent adults.
That I never become estranged from my children.
That my friends who are trying to have children succeed.
That I had better time management skills.
That I could make a living at creative pursuits.
That my husband worked fewer hours.
That I could turn off my brain more often.
That I had better self-esteem and more confidence.
That I didn’t second-guess myself all the time.
That I didn’t lose my temper with my kids.
That I had more time to read.
That I was better at not spending money.
That we lived in a slightly bigger house.
That the words “I wish” hadn’t lost all meaning as I kept writing it out.
