I wish I wasn't such a jerk.
I wish I had luscious locks that would fall perfectly in place.
I wish I had been at the Texas Rangers Home Opener today.
I wish I was in shape.
I wish I had letters waiting for me in the mailbox from loved ones every single day.
I wish I didn't cry so much.
I wish my sister could be here to laugh with me.
I wish I could disappear sometimes.
I wish I could endlessly travel the world.
I wish I wasn't so naive.
I wish all the things I love about UT would move to TX so I could have the best of both worlds.
I wish I could find a job for the summer.
I wish I could feel like I know what I am doing with my life.
I wish I could give my very best friend a hug.
I wish I could lay out in a hammock with a good book in the sunshine.
I wish I knew how to long board.
I wish I wasn't so stubborn.
 I wish you knew everything I was thinking.
I wish I knew if we were thinking the same things.
I wish I was a stronger person.
I wish I didn't care so much.
I wish I could get even a B in my math class.
I wish I could retain information better.
I wish it could be summer nights and snow cones all the time.
I wish a was better at snowboarding.


I wish I could articulate all that is going on in my head and my heart.
I wish I was better.

I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year...

What Are You Scared of Today?

FACT: The smartest people that I know are the people who read. FACT: I am nowhere near being 'the smartest person' anyone knows. FACT: I am a work in progress. FACT: I can become so much more than I currently am. FACT: I am on a quest to read as much as I can for a whole year. FACT: This is exponentially harder than it sounds. _________________________________________________________________________________ I was scrolling through Facebook last week and I came across an article that caught my attention. Being on a "quest to read more" I clicked on the article and started to read a column written by a young lady regarding mental health, her experience, and what she longs to say to those 'dear friends' around her who are also struggling.
