Wishing You Were Here

This year I have entered my last year of teen-hood and every year this thing called "birthday" comes around. Every year you are suppose to make a wish over the candles because we all get at least one good wish a year and we hope that the wish we make over those candles will be that one good wish to come true. Some of us throw in more lucky stars, lucky penny, eyelashes, fountains, etc. when the birthday candles didn't work. Once in a blue moon these wishes come true. So what happens when that wish comes true? Is it as good as we’d hoped? Do we bask in the warm glow of our happiness… or do we just notice we’ve got a long list of other wishes waiting to be wished. We don’t wish for the easy stuff. We wish for big things. Things that are ambitious, out of reach. We wish because we need help, or we’re scared, or missing someone and you wish they were there to help you blow out your candles. Even though we know we may be asking too much, we still wish though, because sometimes...they come true. Bring on the candles!!!
