I wish I were … I wish I had … I wish this never happened…
““I wish I were … I wish I had … I wish this never happened … I wish I could be … I wish I had chosen to … I wish I could accept myself … I wish I wish I wish! All of us wish things about ourselves and others, and how our life paths could be different. This mindset distracts us from our discomfort, but also prevents us from becoming who we most wish to be.””
