Do you ever wish you had someone else's life? Not anyone famous, but someone you know personally. Like a friend or a classmate. Well I do. I don't need a lot of money or anything like that. I just want a happy family. Parents and maybe a brother or sister, and we would have family days, or just spend time together. I wouldn't need a lot of friends, just a group that i can be myself with and trust. We would spend our weekends at each other's houses and get ready for dances together. Have big group chats and inside jokes. In the summer we could go to the beach together and go to all the carnivals. I would be happy. I would look in the mirror and like what i see. But that's not my life. I am the only reason my parents aren't divorced. They probably think the stress of their divorce would lower my grades. I am an only child and i have 4 cats. My mom works at night and my dad works in the day and then goes to a cigar lounge at night. So its just me and my cats :( . At school i have friends but i don't act the same with all of them. I don't even like half of them, but the company is nice. I have 2 really close friends (lets call them Alice and Brooke) outside of school, but they live at least 30 min away. Brooke ditches for her school friends all of the time when i used to think of her and her family as my second family. Alice has a completely different personality from me so i get really worried i will say the wrong thing sometimes. I look in the mirror and I see a fat ugly girl. But you have to look at what you do have. I have cats that love me for who i am. I have a laptop and an iphone and netflix and tv and clothes and food (sometimes i wish i didn't have it) and heat and a place to live, even if its usually just me and my cats. Its okay to want another life, but remember that yours could be worse and that someone else would probably love your life.
