Sometimes I Wish

Sometimes I wish that things never changed. 
That school wasn’t synonymous with stress. 
That love was simple. 
That God could sit down and talk with me. 
That I had all the answers.

Sometimes I wish that being sad wasn’t a thing, and that bottomless coffee cups were.


Sometimes I wish that I could go back to a moment and change my mind. 

That I could visit last week, last month, last year me and do things so so differently. 
That the past wasn’t set and that the future was known. 

Sometimes I wish that the world was truly black and white. 

That for every question there was an answer and for every doubt there was reassurance. 
That for every tear there was a laugh and for every problem there was a solution. 

Sometimes I wish that people didn’t change. 

That people didn’t move on. 
That I was in control of what happens to and around me. 

I don’t wish these things because I really think they’ll happen. I wish them because if they did happen, life would be easier. Because that’s what we’re all about, right? Easier. 

It’s sometimes always hard to deal with life not going your way. It’s hard to look back on crucial moments and think, “If I had only known then what I know now…” It’s hard to know what you want and to not be able to get it. It’s hard to know that bad things really do happen to good people, and that you aren’t actually guaranteed anything in this life. It’s hard to know that there really are so many things that you don’t know.

 

It’s hard // It’s life 
But the thing about life is that regardless of what it throws you, it doesn’t get to change you – you get to change it. 
Life doesn’t get to make decisions for you – you get to make decisions for your life.
And, most importantly, life doesn’t get to make you great – you get to make your life great. 


It’s so common to get caught up in the I wish-es of life (I mean, 11:11 is an entire minute of the day devoted to it), and there’s nothing wrong with wanting some things to be different than they are. Just remember that regardless of the power you may think your wishful thinking has, ultimately the decision is yours to have a great life. 

So never settle for things that are beneath you, laugh all the time, and remember that you are worthy of greatness whether you wish for it or not.
