I wish it were you lying here;
I wish you'd all get fucked.

"I wish I had listened to Bobby McFerrin"

This needs to be written NOW!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

"I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends" is honestly by far my answer

I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

this might be the closest, but then when i think about it, the constraints i have are self-imposed, and it's difficult to tell if they come from expectations or from what i actually think is the right thing to do.

"I wish that I had let myself be happier" sounds a little silly at first, but I think that it's actually very profound

Ware's commentary on this is painfully OTM:

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called 'comfort' of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content, when deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again

I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

i.e. I wish I had lived in a utopian society where I could do whatever I liked, or I wish I had been incredibly rich and could do whatever I liked.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Dying ppl- lacking necessary critical distance imo, tho a positive font of hallmarkian inspiration

If someone has the time to ask me I think mine would be "I wish I'd have died quicker"
