I wish I was one of those people who saw the beauty in everything.
I wish I wasn't so blind to see the sparkles in people's eyes whenever they smile,
and I wish I could see the sparkles on the rivers and feel the soft breezes that everyone
is always talking about.
I wish I was brave enough to compliment the girl I walked past at the store last week, and
I wish I would stop looking down on so many people.
I wish I wasn't such a bitter soul, and I wish I was more eager to share the things that I love.
I wish I didn't talk about myself so much, and I wish that I was more empathetic.
I wish that I took more time out of my day for others, that I wasn't so self centered,
and that I knew how to help people when they're hurt and helpless.
I wish I could live life from a new perspective and see all the wonderful things that
other people get to see and the magic in every little piece of the world.
I wish I was a better person.
And I wish I didn't have to wish that I was a better person.

If you couldn't already tell, this was a call-out post for myself for being such an ignorant butt. xD
I've met so many wonderful people in my time, ones who can simply look around them
and find beauty in everything and see hope in every person they meet and are able
to pluck little pieces of light out of people and turn it into a poem or a piece of art.
And every time I meet one of those people, I can't help but feel jealous, which
I hate. If I were to be granted one wish, I would want to have the mindset of those
kinds of people. The ones that smile at everyone they pass on the street and make
everyone feel better.
