these days i often find that i say to myself outloud (much to the dismay of those people around me at target or publix) that i wanna do this or i wanna do that. now i know i am not alone here because we have all said many times to ourselves, our friends, families, loved ones, sometimes anyone who’ll listen (the poor guy on the elevator with you, the nice woman minding her own business picking out ripe tomatoes at the grocery store, etc) that we wanna be/ do/ feel anywhere or way but the way we are right now. it’s definitely fantasy…so i started trying to remember all the things i say to myself that i wanna do,be, live and i thought it would make for a funny (maybe sad too, but still funny) list. so here it goes…
I wanna be…
