  1. I haven't found happiness. It comes and goes, but it has yet to stay. I have found love, but I wish I hadn't because it causes unhappiness even to this very day.

    1. Happiness comes from always knowing someone is hiding in the corning, waiting for a reason to come cheer you up.

  2. I wish I believed in never giving up. Sometimes things just get hard and I quit. I want to never give up on something that I care for and tried so hard to accomplish.

  3. Is there something you don't believe in but want to? I want to believe that there isn't suffering in the world. But there's an awful truth, a necessary evil that all life knows suffering. It breaks my heart that you can't save every whale in the ocean.

  5. Something i wish i was would be brave. I am a fearless person. i go to the highest of the highest points and the deepest of the deepest seas. i can take a dare and make a fool of myself. But just because im fearless, doesn't mean im brave. I want to be brave enough to not care what people say. i want to be brave enough to protect myself from getting hurt. i want to be brave enough to believe that i am not a freak. I am fearless against all odds, but what i want more than anything to have, is bravery.

  6. Something that I don't do, but want to is to be able to accept the way my life is now. Sometimes I think that I should be happy or even content with my life, yet I still can't. It's hard for me to think that something that was such a big part of my life 6 months, but it isn't anymore. Acceptance is a major part of life and it's something that I lack.

  9. There are somethings that I regret saying. Sometimes I wish that the things I said I didn't want to say. I wish I could say sorry but it would be to late now. She will always love me, but there are time I question that. I hope one day that I could make up for the things I said to her and she will forgive me and that I could earn her trust again.

  10. Everyone believes in something, because everyone has a fear. It is made up of our most personal thoughts combined with our imagination. Most of the time we wish for it to go away, to stop believing, but it never truly does. Along with our fears comes the unrealistic hope, to save ourselves from our fears. We know all to well, yes we all know, that fear has a quality that hope may never posses. That hope takes more courage than overcoming your most realistic fears.

  11. I want a chance.
    I need a miracle.

    I don't want to believe in the future.
    I want to believe in an alternate past.

    I say things to her that state this harsh reality.
    I regret not allowing her to share her word.

    I am looking for the answers.
    I have found only more questions.

  12. I want a goshdang chocolate cake smeared with meter-thick globs of strawberry cherry frosting. I don't need it, I just ate.
    I need to go to physical therapy and start taking care of my back but I don't want to spend my time doing the exercises.
    I lost a pair of pants last year and I still can't find them. RIP Levi's, wherever you are.
    I found a new layer of self consciousness. I wish I'd never found any of it.

    1. Some of this was so amusing and other parts were so serious and I'm thoroughly impressed.

  13. I always judge myself and everything that I do and I know that I need to stop. I want to love myself but cant. I want to be confident in myself but I'm not.

  14. "What are you not that you want to be?"
    I'm not open person. I'm not able to express my feelings when I'm with people. I'm afraid of what they will think. I don't need pity, so I just keep it to myself. I wish I was able to talk to someone, anyone, about how I feel.
    I want to be able to tell people about my feelings, but I'm afraid of pity in place of understanding. I wish I was open and funny and able to tell people that I don't want their pity when I tell them how I feel.

  15. I wish I still believed in love. It's hard to believe in something you've personally seen ruin so many peoples lives.

  16. What i want to be that I'm not is prepared. I want to be ready for any challenge that is thrown at me. I want a plan for my future, but as of now, my future is a jumbled mess.
    What I'm not is confident. I want to stop being shy and holding my true self inside. i want to stop caring about what other people think.

  17. I haven't found completeness. You think people can say they are complete when we finally die? Because, I'm not Buddha... I'm Ariann...a.

  18. I want to believe in the magic around us, but can’t as the world around me have disproved all and any fantasy.
    I don’t want to believe in fate but I have to. Too many things are intertwined in this vineyard of destiny.
    I want to be an adventurer, but can’t. I, like all the people surrounding me, are trapped in an asylum built around a faulty education system.
    I say this, but I will regret it, for what I say here will be all in vain.

    I am searching for a better life. I just haven’t found it yet.

  20. "What Is Something That You Don't Want To Believe In But Do...?"
    H O P E
    It's More Or Less Like A Shadow Of False Pleasure. It Keeps You Going...Stringed Along...& Your Head Held Up High; For Awhile. Its All A Curtain Shielding What You Most Fear Of Reality. Which Eventally Everything Absorbs. So...Instead Of Comforting Me With A Lie...Id Rather Be Hurt With The Truth.

  21. I wish I could believe that everyone gets a happy ending, but that is not always true. Some die of not very good reasons or die too soon. Some get bullied for ever, and some are just alone. I would like to believe that everyone gets a happy ending, but that isn't always the case.

  22. Life is full of SOO many decisions. some as simple as what to wear tomorrow. But what people do is obsess and attack their feelings over some little decision that it makes them go crazy. Most people ask "what are you not that you want to be?" My answer is maybe be a famous actress or be in a movie. But don't obsess over what you're not. Obsess over what you are because you can't be what you want unless you be what you are.

    I rather travel the world.
    I believe anything is possible, but not everything is.
    I rather believe in reality.
    I make the smallest mistakes bigger
    I rather not mind little imperfections.
    I have found happiness, but it comes and goes.
    I rather be looking for satisfaction.

  25. I was told my post was not sufficient enough. However, it was a serious response. I am so indecisive and I always have a hard time answering questions about myself. I talking to my boyfriend about a week ago and I could not figure out what I've been having so much trouble with lately. And he figured it out when he said that I'm looking for something to search for. This is what I am looking for but have not found.

  26. What do you want to be but you aren't? I want to be the person that understands someone else. Someone that helps other people though their problems. I want to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. To understand what they were thinking and how they were feeling though there situations and how they handled them. I want them to comprehend that people care and you are wanted.

  27. I want the acceptance and respect of others, yet all i need is my own.
    I need others help and honest guidance, but i don't always want to hear the ugly truth concerning my faults.

    I dont want to believe that we all have an inner demon, but i cannot deny my own social and emotional damnation.
    I want to believe in myself yet my David of self confidence cannot match my insecure Goliath

    I ignore the flood of support and advice from my elders.
    I don't use my god given talents to their fullest abilities, but i wish to as wasting gifts as these makes me a monster to those who try so hard to accomplish the same things i can do effortlessly

  28. i want money but money isn't everything. it doesn't give you happiness; even the most richest people aren't happy with what they have.
    i need my family in my life more than anything. They are the only thing keeping me sane in this crazy place we call a world.
    i don't want to believe in true love because when you think you have finally found it it turns out to be not what you expected it to be but yet i still believe in it nonetheless.
    i want to believe in the supernatural world but i don't because i need facts to believe and if i don't have that then i can't believe.
    i do keep to myself a lot and i don't want to do that anymore. i want to be able to confide in others.
    i don't really communicate well with others but i want to so then i won't feel so alone anymore.
    i always say "I'm fine" but after I've said it i regret it because i always want someone to listen to me and my issues.
    I'm always looking for my purpose in life but i can't ever find it even though I've tried to look for it.
    I've found great friends but i want to keep looking for more that i can open myself up to more. Friends are the greatest thing in a person's life.
    i want to be a detective because i want to help people get justice for their lost loved ones that haven't gotten it yet.
    i want to be a loving and caring person to others but I'm and i wish for that everyday of my life.

  29. I want a plan that I don’t need.
    But at the same time, I need a plan that I don’t want.
    I don’t want to believe in the paranormal, but I do. All stories come from somewhere, right? Not the outrageous stereotypes we make up, but to some sort of extent.
    I procrastinate even though I wish I didn’t. Sounds easy enough to over come, but between food, Youtube, and sleep its nearly impossible not to.
    I'm looking for answers in a world that doesn't answer any at all.
    I am not a Youtuber, but I really want to be. Not to be cool or anything, I just want to be part of that great community.
