Ten Things I Want For Christmas

1)     I don’t want to be on all this medication. I feel like a goddamn zombie and I haven’t slept well in weeks. I can barely jot this down, my hands are shaking so much.

2)     An end to homelessness. Do you know over 122,000 homeless people are afflicted with mental illness (ABCNews.com)? Obviously NO ONE should be homeless but certainly not someone who can’t fend for themselves.

3)     I want to lose thirty pounds.

4)     I want to be able to eat as much as I want and never gain weight. Or better yet don’t have that feeling like the inside of my stomach is eating the lining.

5)     A fair 2024 election

6)     No more mass shootings.

7)     America’s debt (which is currently around $26 trillion) will be magically repaid

8)     I’ll be reunited with my second family (Dave and Christy)

9)     My own child and my ability to raise them (not now, but you know, one day)

10)  My brother and I are not so far away
