OOC: I'll start.

I DIDN'T GET TO HAVE A REAL LAW SCHOOL GRADUATION! I EARNED GOLD CORDS AND I WANTED TO FUCKING WEAR THEM IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AND BE SEEN IN GRADUATION PHOTOS BY TOTAL STRANGERS FOR DECADES AS THE FANCIEST BITCH OF ALL! I WANTED TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY FRIENDS! I WANTED TO BE IMPRESSIVE!

I WANTED MY PARENTS TO BE THERE WHEN MY SON WAS BORN! I WANTED THEM TO HOLD HIM WHEN HE WAS STILL SQUISHED AND SMALL AND HAD NEVER KNOWN DARKNESS!!

I WISH MY UNCLE WHO I ONLY REALLY SAW AT WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS WAS STILL ALIVE!

I WISH I DIDN'T STOP EXERCISING AND START EATING INDULGENTLY 44 MONTHS AGO. I WANT THE ROUTINE AND THE BODY AND THE GOOD FEELINGS I USED TO HAVE!!

I WANTED TO LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE I COULD JUST GET A BABYSITTER SOMETIMES!!!

I WANT TO GO TO SHOWS. I WISH THE OPEN MIKE EAGLE SHOW I WAS PLANNING TO GO TO WASN'T CANCELLED IN MARCH 2020.

I'm tired of yelling.

I wish I could think better of my friends and neighbors, or take my kids into a grocery store and scold my son for misbehaving.

I wish I wasn't getting lied to all the time by the fourth estate.

I wish I wasn't so angry and scared and alone. I wish I needed this less.

I wish my wife could still breathe cold air.

I miss the future we were all supposed to have.
