Be something, I know it can be hard but you have to go though it to get past it -Alexa_l. (Teen Ink)


I wish
I want
I hope I get
I really would like
A big house
Nice Car
Great clothes
Attractive friends and more attractive partner
To look good
To eat without getting bigger
Become the life of a party
To be strong enough and confident enough to go after what you dream of
To travel the world
To take some risks
To be kissed at midnight on New Year’s Eve
Make a difference in someone’s life
Become famous and rich
Have a perfect family
Run a marathon

I want, I wish, I hope I get
It’s all we as 21st century humans have learned to say
We are needy over wants
But we aren’t wanting what we need

Guys wish girls knew that;
Social media isn’t your friend when you try to talk about others anonymously
‘Follow your heart’ is terrible advice
Smoking isn’t cool
‘I don’t care what anyone thinks about me’ is a lie and we all know it
‘I hate drama’ is yet another untrue statement, you couldn’t live without it
Tanning beds are gross
Sweatpants are cool, being comfortable is great too
Playing stupid isn’t sweet, smart is amazing
Amazing isn’t a lie, it’s the truth in every way
If we don’t mean it, we won’t say it
And don’t forget that we screw up too

Girls wish guys knew;
What they mean when they speak
What drama is in their minds
What it’s like to be like them, and lose the confidence they never gained
Why we say what we do and what social means to us
That how we grow up will be how we are grown up
Calling us complicated is not only offensive but it isn’t true
When we scream we’re scared and not thinking straight
We don’t blame you for fun, we blame you because we wish that we could have forever with you
Newsflash nice guys don’t finish last, they get further than the rude and even farther than you

Teens wish their parents knew;
Times have changed and it’s time to move forward
We care what you think and we really do love you
We don’t like to fight with you
We are so proud of you
We want time to relax too, and mostly with you
We make mistakes but don’t be afraid
We will try not to fail you if you promise not to abandon us

We all have hopes and wishes and dreams
Wants and needs
And a million reasons to fight for it
But we all need one moment
Just a precious second of our lives to stop
And ask ourselves
“Is this really what I wish for?”
