I wish that when I was younger, I was brave enough to slide down the railing of a staircase. I wish that I attempted to ride my bike down hills and up the driveway and not be scared of falling. I wish that I could’ve been a little stronger to push my legs harder and jump from the highest point on the swing. I wish that I wasn’t afraid of the dark so I could stay out and play; just a little longer. I wish that I walked on rocks so I impress people who could. I wish I was a little more adventurous so that I could see the world in all its beauty. I wanted to be everyone else except for me. When I was small, I had every freedom without knowing it. I stopped myself before I started going on, Focused on all the times i failed, all the times I couldn’t do something because I was too scared. To be that kid who was brave enough to skateboard, unafraid to climb rocks and swim in the lake. To be that kid who was incredibly social and never took anything too personal. To be her who never had a bad hair day and was incredibly intelligent. To be him who was fearless and was more athletic than me. I wish I could be that kid who did all these amazing things but I forgot how remarkable I am now. And how incredible I will be tomorrow.
