Sometimes, I wish I’m a boy.
Then I can be prideful for all I want, but still be ‘man’ in other people’s eyes.
Then I can be mean for all I want because I’m not born as sensitive as girls.
Then I can do everything by myself and people will praise me for being independent.
Then I can chase whichever girl I like and not look weird for taking the initiative.
Then I can have multiple female good friends and nobody would say that I’m a flirt.
Then I can go to the club every day and the worse label I’d get is “desperate”.
Then I can impress others by having all the talents in the world and nobody would think that I’m overpowering, too “up there”.
Then I can just sit there, stare at the sky and not think of any miscellaneous stuffs.
Then I can move on easily.
Then I can fall asleep easily.
And I don’t have to go through monthly cramps.
And I don’t have to go through their nonsensical mood swings, their emotional turmoil.
And I don’t have to oh-so-gentle-and-nice.
And I don’t have to plan what I have to wear to school daily.
And I don’t have such a variety of clothes to choose from.
And I don’t have to multi-task (because I can’t)

Sometimes, I wish I’m a girl.
Then I can wear pretty clothes to school every day.
Then I can hide that disgusting pimple on my cheek with concealer.
Then I can have tons of variety of clothes to choose from.
Then I can be wishful and childish for all I want because I’m born this way.
Then I can breakdown and cry, but people won’t see me as weak.
Then I can have people who’d talk to me throughout the night about nonsensical stuffs.
And I don’t have to go through NS.
And I don’t have to worry about not doing well in studies or career, because I can always “marry a rich husband”.
And I don’t have to carry the burden of my family, and the family I’m gonna build in future.
And I don’t have to earn a lot of money to give my family a comfortable life.
And I don’t have to plan dates.
And I don’t have to pay for girls.

Sometimes, I wish I’m between. Then maybe I don’t have to think so much about the benefits of being the other gender. But seriously, who wants to be in between?
Humans, never satisfied with what they already have.
