Gone Wishin'

W is for wishes. I have heard of many ways to make wishes in my life, and so far a lot of them haven't come true, but there's no reason not to still hope. When it's 11:11, when I hold my breath when riding by a cemetary or across a bridge, blowing out my birthday candles, throwing a coin into a fountain or a wishing well, breaking a wishbone, seeing a shooting star, etc. (Ha, I know that song is way overplayed but it's good anyway. And I have never seen a real shooting star.)

I think all these wishing things are probably just to make people think magical thoughts and give them hope in their dreams, and I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't really think it will happen most of the time, though. Maybe the trick is to wish for something simple that you know is most likely going to happen no matter what.

There is a song I heard on the radio a few weeks ago, and I don't remember how it went, but I thought it might have been Michael Buble, so I have been looking up all his songs on youtube. At this point, I don't think that song is by him. I'll probably never find it, but he is great. I have never been that into his style of music before, but right now it's putting me in the mood to swing dance with a nice boy, and then slow dance with my head on his shoulder, holding each other and swaying back and forth, just being content. I wish I had that.

But realistically, I have to take chances and make that happen. And anything else I might want, I can work for it, like traveling around the world, getting a degree, getting a good job so I can buy food and nice things. I might wish for some help finding the right job, acing the interview since it is hard for me to open up to people right away. I could wish to win the lottery, but I don't want to be more materialistic than I have to be, or already am.

Anyways, keep on wishin'!
