Simple Wishes

Who knew a song played without the lyrics could send a message to your emotions. I do
 not know, but ever since I came into adulthood, I've learned to cherish silence. Sit in the cool afternoon, and enjoy the breeze. Away from my phone, away from homework.

  Ever get that feeling that your just zipping through the day as you are getting your priorities done, but at the end you feel lifeless? For me, I think about all I have to do, and I'm breathless, because all I do now will be leading up to a crucial moment, when that degree is finally in my hands.

The other day, I sat in the afternoon sun, classes were done, people were getting off work, and just as I finished perusing a event on campus, I find myself in silence. The sound of the wind was all I could hear, and I wondered, why haven't I stopped to smell the flowers, yet feel the breeze flow across my cheek?

I never took the moment from the daily grind to just stop. Life is more than just being grateful for surviving a crazy day, its deciding for yourself about what you plan to do next. Whether it be now, the next year, or the next ten years.

In my high school years, everyday I wished for my life to change, for my 'daily life' to be exploding with excitement, happiness, and confidence. Simply, I kept my intentions to myself, rather than trying to actually participate in what the world has to offer. Such as, I never liked to dance, therefore, even at prom, I didn't have the courage to shuffle my way to the dance floor even though I was alone.

But, fate tends to surprise, now I love to dance even on my own. If the music is good, I will make my way. The aha! moment did not appear til much later in my journey, but I am glad it did.

So, dear readers, wishing upon a star, on 11:11 or anytime, is not a silly thing. Forget the woulds, shoulds, coulds. A wish is a personal intention for something you truly want, and can picture a better life beyond what is happening right now. All money and relationships aside (and I have made a few in my lifetime), its not what you need to have, its about finding it for yourself.

Its like stating your wish, and setting it free, it will appear in one form or another, trust me.
But, be open-minded for fate or the universe likes to package wishes differently.

Just sayin' be careful what you wish for...  ;)


Take Good Care,
