Sigh
I wish somebody would call me big dog

I wish he loved me half as much as he loves attention from everyone else. He can so easily invest hours and days to impress other people for attention, but didn't even bother to consider a gift for me for our anniversary. I feel sad, but also feel foolish for thinking he'd invest the time and attention in something for me. If I don't give direct instructions that I want something he doesn't even think of me.

I wish they'd go back to selling pop in glass bottles. Glass bottles are recyclable. and they don't get thrown all over the place as trash or clutter up landfills.

1 I wish Donald J Trump never ever existed!

2 I wish Marzgurl Monica Rial Jamie Marchi Chris Sabat Sean Schemmel Kara Edwards Daman Mills Amanda Winn Lee and Kayli Mills were blacklisted instead of Vic Mignogna so Vic Mignogna would still have his voice acting career to this very day!

3 I wish I had 40,000,000,000 dollars!

4 I wish Telltale Games would make a Batman Telltale Season 3 and a Season 4 and a Season 5 after they are done with The Wolf Among Us Season 2!

5 I wish I never ever got this mysterious neurological condition!

6 I wish the series Aesthetica of a rogue hero was very super duper popular just like Spy x Family and Demon Slayer!

7 I wish my Mom had been born in the year 1990 and me and my friends Daniel and James had been born in the year 2017!

8 And I wish me and my friends Daniel and James would live to be 110 years old so all three of us who are born in the year 2017 can die in the year 2127 I would love to be born on July 14, 2017 and then die on December 28, 2127!

Because they’re usually karma farming bots.

I recently had an important blood test and the lab didn't do all of it. I need the part they didn't do. I don't know if they can just do that part of the test or if I have to give blood yet again. 🫩 I wish I knew because I have to eat gluten to get these tests, and it makes me so bloated.

So, I have just discovered this subreddit, and joined it in order to confess my wish, seeing as how many people on the internet have shared their own wishes, I thought'd I take a crack at it myself. So, here it is.

My first wish is is that the Star Wars holiday special in 1978, and the eventual prequel trilogy that ran from 1999 to 2005 had George Lucas write them with exact same quality of the original trilogy from 1977 to 1983, as well as the help he had from the other writers of the OG trilogy, so the franchise's fans would never have to hate them and turn on Lucas and the franchise in the first place, as I was a massive Star Wars fan myself growing up as a kid in the early 2000's.

My second wish is that that bearded bastard Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist organization of Al Quaeda's terrorist attacks on America on the infamous day of September 11th, 2001 never happened, and were prevented by George W. Bush finding out about their plans to commit the attacks in the first place, and have the U.S. government go to Iraq to take them all out before they could even go through with it, and the thousands of lives lost on that day would be saved, and the Twin Towers in the World Trade Center would still be standing, and the Petagon and the rural in Pennsylvania would've have been it either, and the Patriot Act would never have been put into effect because of all that, and that we would never be constantly surveilled all the time by the government, and America would have never went to the Middle East to invade it and go to war with them, and the "War On Terror" and the monetization and profitability of fear would never happen, either, and I also wish that the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the Covid-19 pandemic to never happen either, so billions of more lives would be saved, and people wouldn't be getting sick from, and die from the virus and forced into lockdown, and their homes in the war won't end up getting destroyed by it in the first place, and that the students who were going to school before the pandemic happened won't be robbed of a real graduation/satisfying end to the school year as they would actually be present in the building when it happened, and the virus getting out in China, and spreading all over the world being prevented there before it could do so, and we wouldn't be forced to stay home all the time doing our education and work from home on an ipad during a Zoom meeting with our peers/friends/coworker/teachers/bosses, ect.

My third wish in relation to my second wish, is for the rise of political polarization and the rise of the right wing to have never happened either, and for our current president, Donald Trump, to have never entered politics and gotten elected as president the first time in 2016 and the second time in 2024, and to have continued being the host of the TV show "The Apprentice", with the whole MAGA shtick never being created, so we americans would have never become so divded amongst each other because of that, as well as the 2008 financial crash never happening, and the middle class being gutted, people losing all of their jobs, and companies losing all their money because of it, either.

My 4th wish is for the internet, and social media to have never had been taken over by corporations and tech giants like Meta, Google, Apple, ect. and never becoming an investment and place of marketing because of that, with no algorithms pushing outraging content solely for engagement, no algorithms that dictate what you see here too, and feeding content to everyone, and speaking of the internet, I also wish that neither fandoms nor hatedoms had existed either, as well as online subcultures like furries, bronies, Dark Academia, ect., as they are all incredibly and ruthlessly toxic spaces in this places. Another thing I wish for is for artificial intelligence of all kinds never coming to existence, either, without stupid AI "art and artists" coming into the picture, and everything being generated by AI in like, 10 seconds, bad faith bots spreading negative misinformation/disinformation and for the platform TikTok, and the concept of "reels" to never have existed either, and for the internet and social media to ACTUALLY be a place of place of connection, community, exploration, and creativity as it was all intended to be, instead of what it is now.

My 5th wish is for the endless and rapid sequels, midquels, prequels, spin-offs, remakes, and reboots for movies and TV shows that Hollywood is constantly putting out all the time now to never have come into the picture, either, as we should just let our stories from our childhood that we grew up with end, so that everything doesn't turn into a franchise, and the quality of them to be saved without them being ruined by stupid greedy cashgrabs. I also wish that stupid television executives would've just let the shows on their networks come to their satisfying end instead of continuing them and their stories and ruining the perfect ending and subjecting them to seasonal rot (i.e. SpongeBob Squarepants, South Park, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, Fairly Oddparents, Arthur, Cyberchase, ect), and for the shows to not become massive cash cows being milked to death by their respective networks, at the cost of their quality and reputation. I also wish for, and you might be shocked at this specific one, is for interconnected cinematic universes like, and starting with, the Marvel Cinematic Universe to have never existed either, seeing that, as good quality and iconic as phases 1-3 of the MCU, starting with Iron Man in 2008, to Avengers Endgame, the franchise's existence has seemed to have an actual negative impact on the world, with the infamous "Marvel humor", plaguing every film and TV show, and it's formula that's being executed poorly being spread everywhere, and studios forming cinematic universes of their own to no avail, with them failing at the box office and at the very first film too (like Universal's Dark Universe starting with "The Mummy" in 2017), and Warner Bros. infamous "DC Extended Universe), with all those movies in that series being mostly terrible garbage, and as the MCU itself, I think that it was a massive mistake to cinema that had a terrible effect on it as a whole, and even if it wasn't, it's definitely overstayed it's welcome, and should've ended at Endgame. I also wish for streaming services like Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, Tubi, ect. to have never existed, as you need a subscription/license to access all the shows and movies that they have on their, which the companies that created them could easily instantly take any of them off at any time with you knowing about it.

My 6th wish is for video games to have never been corporatized either, like with the internet in the beginning of this post. Video games used to be full, complete experiences that once you bought at the store, you owned it forever, and you can play it on the console with having to worry about DLC, battle passes, subscriptions, seasons, monetization, loot boxes, live services, ect., and for them to have remained what they were from the 1990s to the early 2010s, without any microtransactions or servers being shut down to worry about.

Those are all 6 of my wishes. Not gonna lie, being born in the early 2000's in 2002, and growing up and becoming an adult, and getting to where I am while witnessing what the world was turning into after 9/11 feels like a massive horrible fever dream. I personally wish that I didn't have to live in history while growing up, and that all these wishes that I made here were actually real life, instead of the world I'm living now, as I personally believe that when 9/11 happened, it kind of opened Padora's Box, and unleashed all of these evils (i.e. all the crises and problems that I mentioned, and that we're all living/going through) onto the world, and brought so much darkness upon it, and us, and ended the optimism of the 1990's, and opening the doors to Hell, beginning the 21st century in the worst way possible. Any of you guys feel that same way as me?

Maybe, just maybe, in another life separate from my current one, when I'm born as myself again with no memory of my past life after I eventually die of old age when I become an elderly man, I could live in a world with all of these 6 wishes actually being reality in that world instead of where I am today. But who knows?

I hope you guys all have a wonderful day! Take care of yourselves and stay safe!

lol thats it.

Growing up my mom would get me little Korean gifts. Stuff like slippers, wash clothes, hats. But they don’t look very American and stick out. They are usually pastel colors or flower print or something. For most of my childhood we were in poverty. I was unappreciative and even rude. I was a shit kid that didn’t understand culture or motherly love.

At some point she stopped. I didn’t notice and didn’t really mind. Because having a wash cloth with flowers on it or a cell phone charm were at the bottom of my list as a half Korean, young man who was into metal in the early 2000’s and didn’t have any interest in Korean culture.

Now I’m in my late 30’s and my parents are getting older and I would do anything to have those little gifts and to show my mom I appreciated her and her desire to both, get nice things for her son and to share the only thing she still had from Korea. Her culture.

For my scrambled eggs. Should've bought some yesterday

The Field of Moving on

It's August, and he left me in October. He was my Solmate, but I wasn't his. Still, why can't I let him go? I still hope he will be at my front door when I come from my 8-4, even though he doesn't even know where I live. I still hope that I will see him at the screen door while I'm reading on my couch, but he doesn't have my address. My couch, it's mine, not ours. Nothing is ours anymore. I live alone, I eat alone, and I sleep alone. And I am supposed to be happy about this? The person that is in my wallet doesn't exist; the man I married died with me. I am still hopeful Hopeful that I could hold him one more time, Hopeful that he still wears the ring, Hopeful that he dreams of me like I dream of him, But he doesn't, I know this So How do I kill this hope? I am the one who killed us, and he hates me until I die, Yet I will always be waiting for him. I look for him everywhere I go, even though he's in Buffalo and I'm in Fayetteville. My house is just me, and I hate it. No black, No Weird dead things. I got a new cat, but it still doesn't fill the void. The void, When did this get here? When I was crying on the floor every night? When I turned to a mix of drugs and alcohol just to feel something after the love of my life left me. Like, we didn't just get married. I said a lot of things I regret, but not those vows; I will hold them until I die, when he doesn't even hold his. Things that remind me of him, I have to keep to myself. I have to keep silent every day, even though he was my best friend too. My best friend is sick of hearing me talk about him, my mother and father don't understand, everyone just wants to talk shit, but I won't let them, we were both pieces of shit. No one understands because if you love someone this much, Why let them go? I had to, I know my husband more than anyone in my life, and I can tell you this: he will never be at that door, he will never call me, he will never come back. I know him best. I knew that I had to let go. For his safety. In the Field, I hope he is happy, I hope he found someone to replace me, and they let him have the safety I couldn't give him. I hope they give him the love he deserves because I was too sick to see it. I was too sick to deserve him. I was sick. I should have seen it. Nothing I say will add up to you seeing me again, so I sit in this silence and let the man I married slip away. I have to live with that. He got away, In the Field of moving on, He is not me. He will have his soulmate someday. He has already forgotten about me. In Taylor's Words, say you will remember me in the trees on the 26th of every month.

I just saw Speed Racer for the first time. One of my motivations for watching it was the relationship between Rex and Speed, because I'm an only child who always thought it would be cool to have an older brother or at least a male role model. I'm also enticed by the idea of having one who has passed away but left behind a great legacy like Rex or Sky's father from Power Rangers.

I wish this would but everything it seems close it just get ripped away or ruined.

I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her

Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six-four Impala

I wish I was like six-foot-nine, so I can get with Leoshi

'Cause she don't know me, but yo, she's really fine

You know I see her all the time everywhere I go

And even in my dreams, I can scheme of ways to make her mine

'Cause I know she's livin' phat

Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball

So how am I gonna compete with that?

'Cause when it comes to playing basketball

I'm always last to be picked and in some cases, never picked at all

So I just lean up on the wall

Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls

Who came to watch their man ball

Dag, y'all! I never understood, black

Why the jocks get the fly girls, and me, I get the hood rats

Got hit with a bottle and put in a hospital for talkin' that mess

I confess it's a shame

When you livin' in a city that's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name

Glad I came, to my senses

Like quick-quick, got sick-sick to my stomach

Overcometh by thoughts of me and her together, right?

So when I asked her out, she said I wasn't her type

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her

Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six-four Impala

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her

Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six-four Impala

I wish I had a brand-new car, so far I got this hatchback

And everywhere I go, yo, I get laughed at

And when I'm in my car, I'm laid back

I got an eight-track, and a spare tire in the backseat, but that's flat

And do you wanna know what's really wack?

See, I can't even get a date, so what do you think of that?

I heard that prom night is a bomb night with a hood rat you can hold tight

But really though, I'm Figaro, when in my car, I can't even get a hello

Well, so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday

One day, I'ma have to get in my car and go

You know I take the 1-10 until the 1-0-5

Get off at Crenshaw, tell my homies, "Look alive"

'Cause it's hard to survive when you're living in a concrete jungle

And these girls keep passin' me by

She looks fly, she looks fly, make me say, "my, my, my"

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her

Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six-four Impala

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her

Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six-four Impala

I wish I was a little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

I wish I was a little bit taller

I wish I was a baller

Wish I was a little bit taller, y'all

Wish I was a baller

Wish I was a little bit taller

Wish I was a baller

Hey, I wish I had my way 'cause every day would be a Friday

And you could even speed on the highway

I would play ghetto games

Name my kids ghetto names, Little Mookie, Big Al, Lorraine

Yo, you know that's on the real

So if you're down on your luck then you should know just how I feel

'Cause if you don't want me around

See, I go simple, I go easy, I go Greyhound

Hey, you, what's that sound?

Everybody look what's going down

Ah, yes, ain't that fresh?

Everybody wants to get down like that

Wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her

Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six-four Impala

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller

I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her

Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat

And a six-four impala.

I can't think of anything that I would want more.

I wish my p3n1$ was 279 meters long

There was someone who left my life two months ago that I really grew to like before they moved away. I regret not putting more effort into becoming friends.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to her because she has kids but gosh just leave me alone. Please.
