When I was 6,

I wanted the seemingly impossible –

I wanted to be an astronaut, a rock star, a princess!

I was willing to give up my favourite Barbie doll for the chance to be locked up briefly (and rescued swiftly).

When I was 16,

I wanted the seemingly impossible –

I wanted to be Miss Popular, the centre of attention, to date the prettiest boy in school.

I was willing to give up the grades, friends that won’t stab you in the back for the slight chance to be click-bait material.

Today at 26,

I still want the seemingly impossible.

I want to be me.

I just want to be me, but happy.

I am willing to do anything, anything.
