When I was a kid I wished on stars. When I was a young teenager I wished on 11:11. Now that I'm 18 I wish in my heart, because there it seems like most wishes come true.
Yeah. Just opened up my blogger again and started a blog on wishes with one of the CHEESEST opening statements ever, but it's true. I'm not going to lie and say I still don't wish on stars though or on 11:11, because the truth is I still wish on the first star I see, every shooting star, and every 11:11, 12:12 and 10:10. Yep I love wishing!
But something has become clear to me lately. Wishes don't come true unless you make them come true. Say I see the first star and wish for Taylor Launter to appear in my living room. Well that's not going to happen, unless I take steps to make that happen (AKA Kidnap Taylor Launter or befriend him until he trusts me enough to come into my living room). So I guess wishing really doesn't work and there is no point to it...or is there?
Here is the thing I love wishing because it gives me one goal or gives me something to hope for. And let's face it world, without goals and hope your a couch potato who can only look forward to the new season of American Idol. But on the other hand you can be the person without goals and hope that is boring with no friends and looks forward to smoking pot in your parents basement at the age of thirty. Yep. Neither one sounds very fun to me.
But I wish to be neither one of those persons. I want to be the successful woman who is well respected in her community. See the wish reference. Wishing doesn't mean you wish and it comes true. It means your willing to work to make it true.
So my final word on this, the dictionary has the word wish defined wrong.
