10 Things You Wished For As A Kid That You Should Be Glad Never Came True

We'd all be in trouble if every wish we ever made blowing out a candle or wishing upon a star came true.

As soon as we learned how to talk, we were making wishes. But just because we knew how to make them didn't mean that we really thought them out. Here are some wishes that you should be thankful didn't come true.

1. "I wish I had superpowers."

The government would not be okay with a kid running around shooting lasers from their eyes.

2. "I wish I was a princess."

It might be fun to dress up like a princess, but actually being one includes a lot of responsibilities and restrictions.

3. "I wish I had a pony."

As adorable as they are, ponies are a lot of work.

4. "I wish I had a race car."

You couldn't even drive it until you were at least 16, not to mention that it's a one way ticket to getting a speeding citation.

5. "I wish I could breathe underwater."

Do you have any idea how many dangerous creatures there are lurking under the sea? You're much safer on land!

6. "I wish I was famous."

Nobody needs that much attention. It's invasive!

7. "I wish I was on tv."

That's a job. Kids need to be kids, save acting for when you're older!

8. "I wish I had a little sibling."

Babies can be loud and messy, and the more siblings you have, the less attention, money, and space goes to you. Plus, you might have to share your room! One or two siblings is enough!

9. "I wish I could just grow up already!"

c1.staticflickr.com

Don't waste your childhood waiting around for adulthood. Cherish your youth, you're only young once!

10. "I wish I was pretty."

This one's just a waste of a wish, I guarantee you're already beautiful!

Maybe it's worth thinking twice before blowing out that birthday candle this year.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
