Things I Want For The People Around Me

I was going to write a post about the things I want at the moment, but then I realised that that is so incredibly self-indulgent and unnecessary- the problems in my life are so trivial compared to those of the people in my life. So instead, I have taken the compassionate slant and am writing about things I want for the people I love- be it things they themselves are pining after, or things they are too blind/proud/scared to see for themselves that they need.



Mum- I want my mum to be over her flu so she can get to work tomorrow because she really needs to get out of the house! Plus, a healthy mum is a happy mum.



Dad- I want Dad to stop stressing about the fact that he is starting a new job soon, after 19 years at the same job. I know he will be great there if he just trusts in his knowledge and people skills!



My sister- I want my sister to stop straightening her hair. No, that's not because I want to use the straightner, it's because she needs to see that her naturally curly hair is gorgeous. I just want her to be happy in her own skin.



The Energiser Bunny*- I want my bubbly buddy to accept in herself that the feelings she has for a certain Sporty Tool* are real and she needs to act on them! He feels the same way- he told me so! Even though I don't get along with him, that doesn't mean she shouldn't!



Dancing Queen*- I want this friend to take a breath. Between school everyday, three hours homework every night, work three nights a week and dancing five times a week trying to squeeze in a life is practically impossible. But my tall dancing friend- trust me hun, life is only gonna get better! We just have to tread against this knee-deep mud for the next year-and-a-half and then we are home free, skipping through the fields again! (Whoever said our high school years are the easiest of your life has clearly not met myself or the Dancing Queen!)



Footy Spunk*- I want him to know that he won't be broken by this injury- he needs to keep his spirit up and we will all be right there beside him to help every step of the way of his recovery. 12 months will pass in a flash and he will come back to the game better than ever.
I want him to know that I think I feel the same way as I think he does (but I think he may know this already...).



Silly Boo*- I want her to let herself stop and grieve. The death in her life is a big loss and pushing through and remaining her upbeat, silly self won't help her get through and past this. I'm here for you.



Miranda* (I call her Miranda because she could be Miranda Kerr's younger sister, she is stunning)- honey, you are such a beautiful, clever, charming and sweet young woman. You deserve so SO much better than the User* and the horrible relationship he has trapped you in. We are far too young to be caught up in possessive, disturbing relationships. Don't let this ruin your relationship with your parents and all your friends, he is so not worth it. We can't help you anymore, it is now all up to you. Honey, get out of there before something worse happens. We all love you and care about you so much.

Adventurer- Darling girl, you don't need those walls any more. The Man* is practically out of your life and so many great people (yes, guys included) will be able to see just how gorgeous and charming and hilarious you are BUT ONLY IF YOU LET THEM. Relax honey!

I hope they listen to me, the tiny little voice in their heads' that is always ther to support, love and cheer for them in so many ways. I love them all and I hope that this anonymous cyberspace message in some way impacts on thier lives in the way they need it most. Let's call it a Non-Specific-Religious Internet Prayer.

I really just hope it is answered.

Love, (not-so-) bubblygirl

*I have decided to give all my friends nicknames that relate to thier lives and personalities- it maintains anonymity and it's fun! A win-win for all involved!
