Thirteen Things I Have Wished For
Wishes! Talk about something you can write about. Everyone has secret desires, be them right or wrong, greedy or not. Wishes can be horrible things that haunt us and wonderful things that keep us working hard for our dream.
What wonderful writing fodder!
For your reading pleasure (and amusement) here are…
1. When I was younger, I wished my older brothers would spend more time with me…
2. …and let me play with their toys when I wanted…
3. …and let me play their Nintendo so I didn’t always have to sneak in to do it. 
4. Also when I was younger, a lot of the time I wished to just be left alone to do my own thing. This wish only intensified when I started writing stories.
5. I wished (and still wish now) for more money. I absolutely love giving people presents, but it’s often put off because I don’t have enough money for stuff/shipping. Then it was because allowance was an on/off sort of thing. Now I have medical bills and student loans. Ah, to be an adult.
6. I wished to be skinny at about age ten. I’ve been overweight since before then, but it was when I was ten that I saw a picture of myself and realized how heavy I was. (Thanks a lot, PCOS.)
7. I have always, always wanted (even to this day) blue hair. Not highlighter blue, but dark blue that’s blue enough to make it obvious I have blue hair. (Someday…)
8. I also want to get my nose pierced…
9. …and to get my third tattoo. (I feel like such a rebel. Hah!)
10. In school, I wished for nothing more than this boy to ask me to be his girlfriend. And he did. Then he broke up with me the next day. The good news is I didn’t care because I’d really been in love with being in love.
11. Also in school, I fell hard for a guy two years older than me. I wished so much for us to be together. It never happened, though we both liked each other. I think he was afraid of commitment.
12. These days, my wishes revolve around my health. I wish for my ovarian cysts to magically disappear along with my other symptoms of PCOS.
13. I also wish for my husband and I to be happy and healthy for as long as we can be. I know that sounds a bit cheesy, but I honestly do.

I’ve never thought about dying my hair but if you want blue hair, go for it. Happy TT.
