If "I Wish" by Skee-lo Were Written by a Angsty Wallowing 23-Year-Old

I wish I were a bit softer. I wish I weren't so impulsive. I wish I had more of a classically ambitious drive within me. I wish I cared more about the things that mattered and less about what has already passed. I wish I didn't see my parents' faults. I wish I could see my own with clarity and understanding. I wish I had more control. I wish I cared less about control (who doesn't?). I wish I were a better daughter. I wish I were a better sister. I wish I executed all the plans I've made up in my mind, instead of watching the opportunities slip from me with apathetic regard. I wish I knew myself more. I wish I could expedite the process of growth and learning. I wish I were wiser. I wish I were less materialistic. I wish I gave more money to charity, to people I love. I wish I executed the actions that align with my value. I wish I could love better with more understanding and less reaction. I wish I gave my time and energy without expecting anything in return. I wish I listened to people better. I wish I didn't interrupt people so much. I wish I had a quieter laugh. I wish I weren't so shameful. I wish I acted in a way that didn't deserve that shame. I wish I had better time-management. I wish I would do more for my community. I wish I complained less. I wish I liked my city more. I wish I would notice more (the birds, trees, needs of my loved ones). I wish I weren't so selfish. I wish I cried more and less simultaneously. I wish I were a better pet owner. I wish I told people less about me; acted as a neutral sounding board for others. I wish I spoke less throughout the day. I wish I did my hobbies more. I wish I had been a better student. I wish I had more motivation. I wish I had less greed. I wish I had less envy. I wish I cared more about global affairs. I wish I would educate my opinions more. I wish I were slower to anger. I wish I had more patience, that it were a virtue of mine. I wish I smoked less. I wish I read more. I wish I wrote more. I wish I would create something with a fervor and passion. I wish I had fervor or passion in my work. I wish I could crawl on my hands and knees towards each daily interaction with these desires posted to my being like Luther's "Ninety-five theses."
