I wish

Introduction

Have you ever looked at another individual while you were passing by and wondered "What is their life like? What is this person's passions and dreams? What is their family life like?". I certainly have but also due to the fact that I struggle with owning my past and living in the now. This is not about being envious and wanting another individual's life but the human function to yearn for the unknown and to wonder. This doesn't mean that you have to be unhappy with your life either, it's the questions of 'How would my life be if I was born in a different state or even country? What about if I had a rich family or one that was more stable? What if I did not give up on my dream to be a rockstar like Hannah Montana when I was twelve years old?' Our life could be so different yet we ended up with the one we are currently in. Many individuals stress over their past decisions and it is completely normal, however, if you stay in the past and continue to dwell on it; You end up not living in the current life and it becomes hard to progress into the future. Just one different decision or event could change someone's entire life. The biggest question that all individuals ask is "What if?" which some explain with religion, spirituality, scientifically to feel comfortable and safe. Humans still do not know many things about the universe and using these can help them get an answer and decrease the anxiety of getting stuck in the past. 

This is the story of a young woman who could have been. She is the one you get if you made those different decisions, were born in a different place or family, and made different mistakes. This story has some similar aspects to the author's life story.
