What she wants<\/a>, I want.<\/p>\n

I want to actually use<\/i> the French I’ve learned in school, live in Paris for a year, perhaps learn to cook there, and come home stylish and sophisticated—like Audrey Hepburn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I want to illustrate books and magazines for a living, and I want to sell original art and art prints on the side.<\/p>\n

I want a top-of-the-line PowerMac with everything on it, and I want to be able to pay for it all up front with nary a care for other expenses.<\/p>\n

I want to take dance classes again.<\/p>\n

I want to learn self-defense.<\/p>\n

I want to enrich all of my personal relationships by giving more, listening more, caring more, and understanding more.<\/p>\n

I want to play the piano again, and I want to learn how to play another instrument or two.<\/p>\n

I want people to take me seriously when I’m serious.<\/p>\n

I want people to laugh when I’m joking, too.<\/p>\n

I want to be irresistably charming, and I want the power to make anyone smile.<\/p>\n

I want to cut my hair short and grow it down to my hips again.<\/p>\n

I want to handle stress with an enviable ease.<\/p>\n

I want to be the joy in people’s life and not their pain.<\/p>\n

I want to master the art of communicating well—to know when to speak, when to listen, what to say, and how to say it.<\/p>\n

I want a house I can call my own, with a study full of books, a yard lined with trees, roomy rooms, a spacy kitchen, large baths, a cat, a dog, a two- or three-car garage, and a loving family.<\/p>\n

I want those younger and less experienced than me to look up to me, learn from my mistakes, and exceed me in accomplishments.<\/p>\n

I want those older and more experienced than me to guide me, share with me their experiences, and help me do better than they already have.<\/p>\n

I want to leave this world a much better place than when I came in.<\/p>\n

I want a new wardrobe at least once every year.<\/p>\n

I want more hobbies.<\/p>\n

I want to be closer to my sister and cousins.<\/p>\n

I want to meet my online friends and be everything that they ever imagined me to be.<\/p>\n

I want my passport to be riddled with visa stamps from countries all over the world.<\/p>\n

I want to be thought graceful, even when I’m not.<\/p>\n

I want to always have something witty to say, to break the ice at awkward moments.<\/p>\n

I want people to be comfortable around me, and I want my smile and my laugh to be contagious.<\/p>\n

I want to be more motivated with my career and more enthusiastic in my work.<\/p>\n

I want to sing in a group again and perform for the public.<\/p>\n

I want to whisper sweet nothings in someone’s ear.<\/p>\n

I want to be the rich bitch for once and have things done my<\/i> way, but I also want to be able to revert back to the old me whenever I want.<\/p>\n

I want to be more confident in everything I do, and I want that self-assuredness to show and to work to my advantage.<\/p>\n

I want to visit my godmother in Australia.<\/p>\n

I want to be more aggressive about the things that I want.<\/p>\n

I want people to think of me when asked with whom they’d like to be stranded on a desert island.<\/p>\n

I want to be unforgettable in the best way possible.<\/p>\nShare this post:
