You know how sometimes you learn to make compromises because the situation demands that of you? Then you slowly learn to live with the compromise, and start seeing the good sides of it. And then you realise you've grown to like things that way. And suddenly you don't need to compromise anymore. Would you miss it?
How do you prioritise your list of wishes when you have so many things to wish for, and all seem equally important? If you had one wish that could be granted, how could you choose one? Which one would you choose?
Just when you think things cannot get worse, they somehow do. Just when you think you have had enough and decide to take off, to a better place, the better place feels worse. Just when you think you're going to stick around and be there for people you care about, somehow you cannot. And that just sucks. big time.
