Sometimes I wish I were somebody else. I don't like who I am a lot of the time. I look at people I pass by and how cool they act, and I wish I were like that. I wonder, why can't I be like that? I know that it is not our choice of who we are, we are who God made us to be. But as I look at my friends and people around me, I can't help but wish I had their life instead of having mine. It bugs me that I can't do some of the things they do, or that I'm not as aggressive and outgoing as they are. And I despise myself at not being like them. I loathe over the fact that I'm not one of them and will never be one of them. I get mad at myself, I start to hate myself, and that only has lead to more disasters in my life. I know that hating myself all the time isn't helping at all, but I just can't help wishing I could be someone else, with a different life.
