I Wish

All the Would've, Could've, and Should'ves

I wish housing was free so there would be no more homeless.

I wish jobs were more reasonable and available to the people who need them.

I wish we could use our hard-earned money to do more than just "survive"

I wish we could "live" travel, eat, drink, have big families and enjoy life. Not just put food on the table, have date night at home and "consider" growing our families.

I wish we didn't have to compromise

I wish we weren't forced into adulthood.

I wish realistic goals didn't feel impossible

I wish more people were willing to work....hard...

I wish our world wasn't broken.

Our air and water wasn't polluted,

Plastic, styrofoam, and other harmful chemicals didn't exist,

Food wasn't processed,

Drugs weren't so accessible to the younger generations....

I wish there was more f***ing discipline.

I wish more people cared and understood that they can & do make a difference.

I wish there wasn't so much hate

I wish technology wasn't so important, we spend so much time face to phone and less time face to face...

I wish that I didn't have to wish for these things.

But I guess that's all just wishful thinking?
