Sometimes I wonder about the girl in the back of the class with the Hogwarts shirt who knows everything.
Sometimes I wonder about the shy, new boy who is slightly bigger than the rest of our Psych class.
Sometimes I wonder about the varsity soccer player with a little sister who is a newcomer.  
Sometimes I wonder about how my math teacher and assistant director are dating.
Sometimes I wonder why the boy in my English class feels the need to argue everything.
Sometimes I wonder how the girls in my class do their makeup so precisely.
Sometimes I wonder what life would be like without my siblings.
Sometimes I wonder what I would do if my best friend died.
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I died.
Sometimes I wonder about my future.
Sometimes I wonder how we're all connected without really being connected at all.

I hope for a stable state of mind.
I hope for an eternal love.
I hope for people to understand and empathize with others.
I hope for the ones I love to succeed.
I hope for high schoolers to be more mature.
I hope for my family's security.
I hope for balance.
I hope for the little things to outweigh the grand.
I hope for everyone to appreciate the beauty of the world that surrounds them.
But most of all, I hope for people to have hope. To be optimistic. To want to live to see another day.
