The other day I was at a sleepover with three of my friends. The plan was simple, have fun, and at night we'd hang out in the hot tub. I love swimming and water, but I've always been insecure and worrying people would judge me. I remember wishing I looked like my friends, and saying to myself, "If I looked like them, I'd never be insecure. But, while we were getting ready, two of my friends started worrying about the acne on their back. My other friend and I were trying to tell them it wasn't noticeable, because it wasn't, but they insisted it was obvious. Then one of them turned to me and said: "I've never seen you with acne, you're so lucky."

How does this relate to the theme?

This situation relates to the theme by describing how one person can be insecure about one thing and wish they were like someone else, but another can wish the opposite and want what the other person has.

Example #2

When I first learned I had curly hair, I hated it. All I wanted was straight hair that you could brush through with ease. I often cried wishing I didn't have curly hair. But, one day, a girl came up to me and said: "I love your hair, I wish I had curly hair. My hair cant hold curly and its so damaged. I hate it." Then more, and more people started telling me they love my hair and wish theirs wasn't so damaged and straight.

How does this relate to the theme?

This relates to the theme by showing how people will always wish they had something different, and will never quite be completely happy with what they have.

Example #3

Last year, a close friend of mine was dating a guy, and I remember being so jealous. I have never had a serious relationship outside of a fourth grade boyfriend, and all she would do is talk about how amazing he is. It made me feel lonely, even though I wasn't. However, one day, he broke up with her out of the blue. She didn't know why and she was broken. She was so mad, and sad, but I still wished I had a relationship like them. One day, she blurted out, "You're so lucky you don't have to deal with boys. I wish I'd never dated him, or anyone."

How does this relate to the theme?

This relates to the theme by showing how much I had wanted a relationship like my friends, even though it was toxic, and all she wanted was to never have dated anyone like me. So it shows how jealous we both were of each other, and wanted what the other one had.
