There are so many things in the world that I would definitely love to change; people's views that disrespect the existence of others, how much money it costs to go to college, the fact that some people thing the Oxford comma is unnecessary, and so many other things. But, upon reflection, there is one thing that I don't think I would ever like to change. That thing is me.

While I go through phases of hating various aspects of myself, I wouldn't ever actually want to change whatever that aspect is. There may be times where I really, really hate something, and I'll rage about how I hate it and wish that I could change it. I would never, ever actually change it.

Maybe sometimes I'll be mad about my height; it's one of the first things people notice about me, assuming they even see me. It isn't a secret I'm short, and I certainly hear about it from a lot of people. As much as I like being 5' 1", it gets quite tedious when that's all people notice about me.

Maybe sometimes I'll get upset because I'm not as smart as I would like to be. I'm not getting A's at everything. In fact, I'm not doing so hot this semester at all. It's frustrating because I feel like I'm not good enough.

Maybe sometimes I'll just want to be alone for a day or two. I'll want to watch Disney movies and eat food without having any social interaction. I don't exactly like being that way because it makes me feel lazy.

There are a lot of other things I'd say that I dislike about myselfmore than I'd like to admit. It's unfair of me to think of myself like that, however, because all of these things are what makes me, me. I am myself because I'm short, I am myself because I'm not the smartest person, and I'm myself because I like to hole up in my room.

And there's no one I'd like to be more than myself.
