Wishes

We all have hopes, dreams and wishes for our lives. I remember when I was younger I would wish on everything. Every time the clock turned to all the same number, I saw a shoot star, or if there was an eyelash on my cheek. I took the chance to make a wish. I haven't made a true wish in a long time. I guess I've felt hopeless. What's the point when there is so much pain and suffering around me? Why should my wishes be granted before anyone else's? If you think about it, we grant our own wishes. We take the steps to make our dreams and wishes come true. We put these "wishes" into the universe, and hope they come true. In reality we get closer to our dreams everyday. We may not think we are getting any closer, but we are. We put all our efforts into our careers, friendships, love lives, etc. If we really want to succeed at something, we do everything and anything possible to achieve our goal. I believe we make wishes to give ourselves the courage to go after what we want out of life. They give us the push to we need to continue. The push we need to achieve our destiny...the destiny we have made for ourselves. I haven't made a wish in a long time. I feel as though my life is on hold. I don't have any wishes to make because I don't have control over my own life. I don't see a future for me. All I see is pain. I'm not saying that I will forever feel this way. I hope that I will, one day, make wishes again. We all need a little magic in our lives. We all need a wish we dream to make believe.
