3 Wishes

Christmas will soon be here and then people will be bugging me to make New Year's resolutions. I usually say whatever comes to the top of my head to satisfy my friends. I tend not to make resolutions because I forget about them right after make them. One I did keep was No rash decisions. I managed that most of the year and still mostly follow. This pertained to a shopping habit.
This time around I'll just make 3 wishes in case I run into any genies out there next year. One wish would be to be normal. I figured out in preschool that my interests, my sensitivity, my reactions, my personality, my values contrasted with everyone else. I know I would be miserable trying to be what I'm not, but for a short time I would like to simply fit in without sacrificing everything I think and feel to be liked.
My second wish would be for a best friend. I had 2 people I labelled my best friend in my lifetime and they have the same birthday, coincidence? Both years-lasting relationships unraveled and we stopped speaking to each other. It would nice to have a best friend again to have fun with and tell all my secrets to. Sure I talk to and write to many people, but no one I completely trust. I tend to scare people away when I start opening up. And they wonder why I'm often withdrawn in my corner doing crossword puzzles instead of constant socializing. I'm not used to being so popular at work.
My third wish would be for a companion. Even though my Mom and my sister really pushed on my nerves when I lived with them, it was nice to come home and ask how their day was, plus getting sick sucks when you live alone. A cat would be wonderful to have, but a human being would make a better companion. I hate going to the movies or malls by myself, but often I have no choice.
So there are my 3 wishes for changes in my life. Hope you noticed I did not wish for a husband to take care of me like everybody else wishes on me. Post later. Bye, Bye!
