I have written a lot of this post in the past year, but I’d like to share it with you. When I am feeling low or discouraged, I think about all the things I wish I could be doing, but there are so many things I wish I could do but aren’t allowed to. For example, I wish I could be wearing more of my favorite jeans and a more flattering shirt to work every day.
I wish I had more money. I wish I had a better job. I wish I had more friends. I wish I had more time. I wish I had more friends. I wish I had more money. I wish I had a better job. I wish I had a better job. I wish I had more money. I wish I had a better job. I wish I had a better job. I wish I had more money. I wish I had a better job.
It was a good day to wish for more money, better-paying jobs, friends, and a better-paying job. In fact, we wished for a better job every day of the week. We wanted to be able to call a realtor and get a good deal on a house. We wanted to be able to afford to buy a car. We wanted to be able to afford to go to a play and show the kids a good time.
When I first started writing this article, I wondered if it was possible to wish for anything. If you have to really wish to make things happen, then you can wish for a better job, a less stressful job, a better apartment, a better job. But in the end, I was glad to have these wishes.
This is one of those things that takes a lot of work to create. Wish is a verb. It is not a noun. So if you want to say that you wish your life was easier, you use wish. But you have to really want it to happen. If you want to wish that a new job would make you happier, then you use wish. If you want to wish that your relationship with your significant other would be better, then you use wish.
But that’s not what wish is. A wish is a statement of desire or hope. It is not a statement that you have. For example, a wish to have your hair washed by a random stranger. Would you really want that to happen? That’s not what wish is. Wish is a verb, it is not a noun. So if you want to say, “I wish I could go out and find a random stranger to wash my hair,” you use wish.
When using a wish, it is like opening a box and seeing all the presents inside. If you wish you were a thousand miles away, that would be the equivalent of saying, I wish I had a thousand miles of space to walk.
If you do wish you were a thousand miles away, you want to walk on the moon.
Well, I think it’s a little disconcerting that you would use wish to talk about such a thing. I think he used to just say “I wish I could go out and find a random stranger to wash my hair,” and then his friends would take him to the moon.
In its place though, the word wishes is just a little unhelpful. Instead of saying, I wish I had a million wishes, you might say I wish I had a thousand wishes and then you would have to walk on the moon. What we do instead is just make wishes about things that we want to happen and then walk on the moon. I think that’s a much more useful use of the word.
