Everything looks perfect from far away


I wish...


I wish I had long legs.



I wish I could go to the beach.



I wish I had more confidence.



I wish I was a little more glamorous.



I wish I had money to burn.



I wish I had a sister.



I wish I took more risks.



I wish I was a little more wild.



I wish I had a maid.



I wish I could eat junk food all day and never gain a pound.



I wish I could travel around the world with my best friend.



I wish I could fly away.



But most of all I wish I didn't wish for any of these things. Because then my life would be perfect.

  2. when i was younger, i always wished i had a sister. haha.

    i agree with so many things on your list. i just found an old livejournal entry of mine (let me just say - it brought back memories in a baaad way) and it sort of depressed me how i ragged on myself. stay strong darling <3

  4. oh and i JUST saw this on michellephan's youtube site and i thought it as appropriate to share

    "being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. it means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."

  5. I wish you were closer.

    There are SO many things about you that amaze and inspire me Jennifer. You're beautiful to me just the way you are.

  6. I wish my day off wasn't almost over!

    I love the way you illustrated this post. Very creative and imaginative!

  7. I have long legs and live 10 minutes walk from the beach.. yet I wish for so many things that I cannot have. We all want what we haven't got ha!

    I too, wish I had a sister.

  10. Thats pretty bang on to what I would wish, except I already have a sis (she's kinda a brat, but I wouldnt trade her in for the world.)

    Great post!

  12. Wow, this picture essay was better than most magazine editorials.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Beautiful post and images. I think if you really wish these things you should make it your goal to do one of them this year. I made a list a couple of years ago and have been scratching at least one thing off per year - it's been an amazing ride!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I really like when you use so many images....like a picture book

    ReplyDelete
  15. You and I might be the same person. I could have written this word for word. Beautiful images.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I wish you were closer too.
    And I wish it was Spring ... Summer would be better. :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. I also wish I had long legs! and having a sister, and of course eating junk food without gaining a single pound. but I guess if I had them I would wish for something else more! Humans are never satisfied, huh? I'd rather keep wishing than having nothing to wish of because it would be boring haha.

    oh, and you're perfect just the way you are ;)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Beautiful pictures and beautiful wishes...I have a sister and I realize I need to be more grateful that I have her. Some of your wishes can be turned into reality. Go For It! I believe in you!

    Kisses,
    Stephnaie

  19. That was a perfect post. Because I wish all those things too.

  20. What a wonderful post. :) I agree with almost every single thing on your list.

  22. Wow, now you're making me wish for all these things too :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. .......come down now, but we'll stay.

    I totally get this post. I love the song such great heights by iron and wine, and have errantly wished for a lot of those things...but when I *really* think about it... I've got it pretty good and am pretty happy to play with the cards I've been dealt.

    ReplyDelete
  24. "I wish I was a little bit taller. Wish I was a baller..."

    I hear ya girl. Good pictures to go along with the list!

    ReplyDelete
  25. great post, I really love what you said at the end of the post

  26. Love the post and the sentiments behind it. We all can agree with that I think. Some of those I bet you can change, small steps!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love your thoughts Jennifer because I think we can all relate to them. We all wish different things, we all want things to be different that we can't change. It is very difficult to forget about what we cannot change and to be content with the way things are. When I think these thoughts, I realize I guess life isn't really about what I want. Earthly posessions will all fade away, so will physical beauty, fame, and all the riches in the world. Although no one can help wishing for them!!!

    Wow you really make me think! :)

  34. i like to visit your blog 100 times in a day if you visit my blog once

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have to say I wish for most of the things in this post too especially more confidence, risk taking and money. But I honestly think you are amazing the way you are and you don't need to change. I just gave you an award on my blog so please check it out (although I just noticed that Fashion Court gave you the same one!)

  37. My dad always says, "Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you have." I'm trying.

    Lucky for you, though, that so many of these things are acheivable if you set out for them!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh Darling, you are FABULOUS! I always wished I had a sister too, but I have my girlfriends and they are even better :) AND don't we all wish we had legs like those! In all fairness she's got huge heels on and someone pays her to workout so her legs stay like that! When someone pays me to hit the gym I will look like that too!

  45. I loved this post...I too wish for many things, but you are right. Life isn't perfect and sometimes we can find the greatest things in our imperfections. :)

  52. . . . I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
    In our eyes are mirror images and when
    We kiss they're perfectly aligned
    And I have to speculate that God himself
    Did make us into corresponding shapes like
    Puzzle pieces from the clay
    True, it may seem like a stretch, but
    Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
    Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
    When you are out there on the road for
    Several weeks of shows and when you scan
    The radio, I hope this song will guide you home.

    I hope the title reference was to "Such Great Heights" ? LOL
    :)
    i love this post. i completely agree.

  58. We are so much alike girl that it's unbelievable! I spent basically all of today wishing. But people can make their dreams come true! I think you are amazingly glamorous & to have the confidence you have to blog is soo inspiring to me!!

    The perfect world, hmmm. I got a friend who gets everything she wants, does anything she wants & seems to have everything she ever wished. She's one of the most miserable people I know tho. It's almost like she can't get happy. I think its better to live in an un-perfect world because those days where things happen to be perfect will be extra amazing. hehe. =)

    Seriously Jen thank you for being you!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Jennifer I LOVE this post! Though I already have a younger sister; what I've always wished for was an older brother!! :)

  60. this is a very great post Jen! the last wish made me nod and smile and celebrate my far from perfect life. seriously, i can relate in every single wish you have. =)

  66. I love your "I wish list". It's an excellent idea. I agree with you. If people had all of what they wished for then life wouldn't be interesting anymore. It would be perfect.
    I hope you're having a wonderful week.

  88. such is life, right? you can totally do some of those things...maybe not the sister, the eating and not getting fat, having a maid...but you can take risks, be more glamourous, be a little more wild and confidant. because being is so much more fun...

    oh and you can totally have longer legs, buy a pair of 5 inch nude platform pumps and some high waisted skirts and pants, instant long legs ;)
