I still make wishes when I blow out my candles.I close my eyes and think my hearts desire. I won't dare tell anyone what my wish was. I make a wish at 11:11. I make a wish when I find a penny on the ground and will keep it in my pocket for luck. I can't pass a wishing well without throwing in one of those pennies. It's not that I'm necessarily superstitious I just want good things to happen. I do believe that wishes come true. Wishes to me are kind of little prayers. I believe that you can't make selfish wishes or else they won't come true, they can be a little bit selfish though. That is what makes them fun. I don't wish fame or fortune. I merely wish for everything to work out. I have learned the hard way that what you wish for is not necessarily what you really want. I had wished so badly that__________(Tim,Nick,Ben,Peter,etc) would be THE ONE for me. But I realized later how stupid that was. Pretty much as soon as another guy came into my life. It's really hard to see the forest for the trees but because we can't see far into the future we don't know exactly why things happen the way they do. Each night before I go to bed I pray that things will just work out. That is fine for me. Because even though I know it will, I still can't resist throwing a penny into the wishing well each time I go to the grocery store.
