I wish... More than anything... More than life... More than jewels...

i wish

i wasn't insecure

i had the courage to take chances

i had the strength to say what i thought

i had the will to stand up for my convictions

i had the power to prevent wrongs

i could teach the world to read

i could right the wrongs i've made in the past

people wouldn't complain about things they're unwilling to change

people thought about others before they spoke

people knew that who you are is good enough, and you don't have to subscribe to anyone else's ideals.

I wish all of those things too. Except about me. But I guess I'm working on the taking chances thing, huh?

Carly, you should read rachel's "Plan" if you haven't, she's doing a very brave thing.

Carly, I mailed your paris letter this AM, no opening it until you get there though!

Yopu are definitely not alone in these feelings.

I see them for the most part as being healthy feelings of someone who is working towards self realization, as we all are.
