i wish like all of you, that i could laugh, and have stupid inside jokes of the times nobody else would find funny. i wish like all of you, that i could be invited to the sleepovers, the parties, the fun things you all do. i wish like all of you, that i could laugh and not wonder if my laugh is too loud, or too annoying. speak without looking down, or pulling at the ends of my hair. surround myself with people without feeling like the air around me is suffocating me, rather than helping me breathe. i wish* but, until then, i'll just sit close by and wish.
