I wish

Having time at hand to actually think. I got around to thinking about me, myself. We all do that a lot... maybe some of us a little more than the other ...nevertheless we do it. As i was doing this introspective blah blah .. i realised that there was this one word that kept cropping up.. WISH... When i was 10 I wished we lived closer to school ..all my friends were. When I was 12 I wished that i wore glasses like this real cool girl who sat in front of me at school.. When I was 13 I wished that I WAS the real cool girl who sat in front of me at school. When I was 14 I wished that i didnt have to wear those" horrible glasses" anymore. When I was 15 I wished that i was wearing those"horrible glasses" and not those terrible contact lenses.. When I was 18 I wished that I was older so that I could go to work ad have great fun.. When i was 23 I wished that I was the one getting married..(Oh what fun it must all be ).. When I was 27 (older and wiser) I wished that I was the one with the high flying career and not the one stuck at home having the baby .. When I was 32 I wished that my baby would go up quickly and start school... When I was 34 I wished my baby had remained my baby ...and now that I am 35(much older but sadly not much wiser as you can see) I wish that I was young with no worries other than exams again.. SIGHHHHH!!! Wish .. such a fascinating word.. One that we cannot live with and cannot live without!!!!
