Stalling on my wish
I've yet to complete my thousand paper cranes. How many have I folded? Nine-hundred and ninety-nine. The reason why I've put off folding that last crane is because I don't really have a solid wish in mind. The only thing I really want is something that's really not good for me. There's a song that mentions something about how the things you really enjoy are often not good for you, don't remember the particular song, but the guilty pleasures it cites are chocolate cake and cigarettes. Neither are things I particularly covet (don't really have a sweet tooth and don't smoke). What I want is to turn back time and stop myself from ever falling in love. I'd go back, find that girl and slap her. "Forget it," I'd tell her. "It won't work out." If that version of me is stubborn, I'll punch her in the stomach. Then, when she's writhing around on the ground, I'll kick her repeatedly and stamp on her. I won't stop until she starts bleeding. I might also break a vase over her head. "That's how you're going to feel. Still wanna be stubborn?" I'll ask. I think she'd be convinced. That's my wish and unless someone invents a time machine, it's not going to happen.
Final thought: I'm being very careful what I wish for.

I wish I could, but I read that you'd have to fold the cranes yourself. That would really help me take the burden off though, if I could pass ont he wish. Darn.

You catch more flies with honey, than with vinegar.
Don't be so hard on yourself, be more kind & gentle towards yourself, including your past self.
