I wish I’d known that failure was an option. I wish I’d known there’s a difference between friends and drinking buddies. I wish I’d known honesty, in all situations, is always, always, always the best policy. I wish I’d known how to grow a pair and be more assertive. I wish I’d known how to feel comfortably weird about being a little weird. I wish I’d known how much my mum and dad really loved me, and all the warnings I got came from a place of love. I wish I’d known that my thoughts don’t have to dictate my life. I wish I’d known that home really is where the heart is. I wish I’d known that intelligence is not something you’re born with, it’s something that can be worked on. I wish I’d known that being positive can really change your thoughts which can indeed change your life. I wish I’d known how to be myself more and not tried to imitate Tom Cruise’ (Top Gun) confidence (Although singing, ‘You’ve lost that Loving Feeling’ to girls sometimes did work ) I wish I’d known that the jacket of life could be altered to suit me. I wish I’d known how to say No! I wish I’d known that the phrase ‘just try it’ should apply to everything we do in life. I wish I’d known that not being perfect is okay, and, in fact, striving for perfection is an impossible task. I wish I’d known that not being ‘well off’ didn’t mean I didn’t have a rich life. I wish I’d known that losing myself in a book wasn’t a substitute for living. I wish I’d known that my thoughts actually control how I feel, and how I feel affects the way I see the world. I wish I’d known that sex is a physical act and that love is something different altogether. I wish I’d known that having two strong sisters was a blessing. I wish I’d known that formal education was only one option in life and not the only, or best, option. I wish I’d known that starting a business didn’t require as much planning or money as I’d thought. I wish I’d known never to settle for second best, whether it be in relationships, product choice, or employment. I wish I’d known that loving yourself was a pre-requisite to truly loving others. I wish I’d known how to plan my finances better.
