"The truth about life is... every step is complicated. The past was no simpler than the present."
I wish Inspiration was something you could buy at the supermarket, in the pharmaceuticals aisle, filed under "I," right after Ibuprofen.
I wish I were more in shape (an isoceles triangle, or even a rhombus would do).
I wish the fact that the world was round would phase me. I wish the knowledge of all the stuff that's going on on the other side of the world would phase me. I wish knowing that there are people much less well-off than I am would change my day-to-day life somehow. But the truth is, it all doesn't.
I wish the sun would rise at nine in the morning so I could see it every day.
I wish I had the laugh that that beautiful girl I saw on the street has. Not her features, just her laugh.
I wish coffee were full of vitamins.
I wish I could be everywhere at once. At any given moment, there are millions of people living on the other side of the Earth, going through the same routines I go through every day, but in different ways. I wish I could be there to see all of that.
I wish things were always as they seemed. But I guess it's true that the past is no simpler than the present - it's just always easier to blame the present's complications by simplifying what used to be.
I wish July 4th were a conventional time for wishful thinking.
The truth is, someone probably thinks the world of you, so stop sitting in front of your computer reading this, go find them and start reciprocating the love.
Happy four, everybody.
