To the person I wish I could be,
Where do I start? Why wouldn’t I want to be you? You have long hair, good skin, nice eyes, perfect eyebrows without even plucking them, you don’t need to wear make-up to look pretty, you’re clever and most importantly to me, you’re the perfect size in every way. Not too tall but not too short. Not stick thin but nowhere near as large as me. You’re just pretty much my idea of perfect.
I don’t really think that it is a good idea to want to be someone else. I think that no matter how much you hate yourself and want to be completely different, I think that people should be themselves. If everyone wanted to be the same person then everyone would be the same. The world would be a very different place if we were all the same person but speaking different languages.
However much I wish I could be you, I know that I need to just be myself. I can change myself to be more like the people that I wish to be, but I know that I can never change who I am. Some days that would really bug me, some I wouldn’t be saying that at all, but right now, I just feel like that’s the truth and I know it. I guess you could call this a good day.
