You Don't Always Get What You Want

There are things in life that you want but you cannot have.

There's this girl who's life is almost perfect, almost! She has friends, a boyfriend, and a family. A family that she can count on, a family that she thought perfect. When I was little we were rich. We can buy the things that we want, we can have the things that we want. But life has it's ups and downs. Before, we were on top and enjoying the wealth that we had without realizing that it may be taken away from us, and not thinking about nothing is permanent in this world. I have sister and she was studying in an expensive high school university but she did not take her studies seriously and that was the time my dad bribed her teachers but still she did not graduate. I also have a brother who's going in and out of jail. My mother always tolerating him and bailing him out when he commits another crime. And now I am their only hope of having a college degree among their children. I'm studying hard and trying hard to make my parents proud but still it is not enough. Sometimes I ask myself "Can we have our old life back? When we were still wealthy and I was just a little girl." because now my life is miserable and I cannot have the things I want and need. I envy the life of other people because they were able to get the things they want and need.

If only I could just turn back the time.
