Have you ever thought you choose friends because of things they can do or are that you can't do or have? I do...I don't get jealous, but I do wish I could have certain things from each one. I think maybe that's what we do...I think we choose friends that we can live vicariously through in the things we can't or don't have the means or inclination to do. I'm not having a pity party and I'm not saying I don't have some of these things or that I don't have my own things to offer as well, but these are more like things that I admire about my friends moreso than what I wish I could have of theirs. Some may seem superficial but they all make each of them who they are. Also these aren't the only special things about these people I admire as they all have so many things about them but they are things I have singled out about each of them that I truly admire.
I wish I...
...could dance like Emilee.
...had Melissa's musical talents.
...could act like Shane.
...was funny and quickwitted like A-Ray and Steph.
...was as smart as Elise and Jeremy Troy.
...was a skilled knitter like Hanna.
...was good at handbuilding like Christine.
...could be as decisive as Shawna.
...was poetic like Kaitilin.
...was as witty as Tish.
...could play piano like Breanna.
...could leave home and go out to California with nothing except myself to guide me like Heather.
...could write like Sara.
...had Peggy's determination and success.
...was as fun and carefree as Jenay and Colleen.
...was spunky like Cassie and Ashley.
...could always know the right thing to say like Kimberly.
...was athletic like Jeffrey and Blair.
...had Greg's looks.
