"I Thought This is What I Wanted" Inspired by K-Pop Confidential:

I Thought This is What I Wanted

Hopes, wishes, and dreams

are more complicated than they seem.

What we think we want

often appears better than it feels.

A new car

at the price

of familiarity with the old one;

to finally be done with school

but now face the unknown of a career--

or of searching for one;

the sequel to a beloved book

that tragically ruins

what you loved about the first.

Be careful what you wish for

because change is always an adjustment

even if you thought you wanted -- needed --

the change.
