Of the number 11
Today's date says it all. Supposedly this brief moment in eternity is special. Wish granting. "Make a wish" everyone says.
It's just another form of superstition. If wishes come true at all it is most likely due to human volition, rather than believing in a magical star or moment in time. I just...I can't do it. I can't believe in something that isn't true. That won't come true.
Wishing for your truest desire and waiting? Waiting? Waiting??? It brings nothing. I think everyone knows it deep down. But they/we wish because we all want to believe. To convince ourselves that magic exists. That dreams come true and happily ever after just lies in wait.
I know I sometimes wish for it to be true. To have a clear picture of what my future brings. To know and trust that I will succeed.
I suppose that despite my attempt to never grow up, I have. The child has grown into a cynic. The child no longer believes in the power of wishes.
