  • more than anything i want to look pretty
  • more than anything i want the orphanages here not to be plagued with corruption
  • more than anything i want to have a boy rest his hand on my side, and not desperately suck in - attempting to be thin
  • more than anything i want all the people affected by land mines to receive the funds they need, in order to live regular lives
  • more than anything i wish i was a size 4

  • more than anything i wish he liked me more
  • more than anything i wish cambodia’s genocide hadn’t happened
