Perhaps

Perhaps if I were thinner I would feel better about myself...Perhaps if I had a degree I would be more confidant...Perhaps If my parents had stayed on the east coast I would have grown up having more opportunities...Perhaps if I had stayed in Colorado I really would have made something of myself...Perhaps if I had gone to art school in Chicago I would have made connections with important people...Perhaps If I were dead I wouldn't have to deal with any of this...(Now theres an idea).

We can spend our whole lives wishing something different had happened, or, we can just make it happen.

We can spend our whole lives wishing something different had happened, or, we can work with what we got.

We can spend our whole lives wishing something different had happened, or, we can excel where we are. 

Life is what I make it, that is the only variable that will ever really change my circumstances.
