I want to eat all the chocolate ice cream I want without getting fat

I want to find an apartment in NewYork that I can afford, with a terrace and wonderful view of the harbor.

I want never to go into therapy again.

I want to be surrounded by gifted people who think grand thoughts, are never petty, and love me no matter what I do.

I want to know I’ll never have cancer or become a cabbage in my old age, that I’ll always be financially independent.

I want my ex-husband to approve of me, tell me how much he thinks I’ve accomplished since the divorce and what a good job I did bringing up the children.

I want to get a really good night’s sleep.

I want to be one of those people who is always coming back from some exotic place having a grand adventure traveling alone on  a shoestring.

I want to ride my bike down long, narrow  country trails again.

I want to live a conventional life but have everyone think I’m adventurous offbeat and exciting.

I want to have a lover who is good in bed. I want to be proud of him. I want him not to be into games or power. I want him to love me and be committed to me, and i want to do my own thing and not be bothered too much.

I want all women to be successful and smart and believe in the right causes, and be wonderful. I want to be proud of them. I want that for men too, but not as much.

I don’t want everybody to like me because that means I don’t stand for anything, but I want the right people to like me.

I want to be able to take a few drags on a cigarette occasionally without becoming a smoker again.

I want to write a really good poem.
