So, it's lame but at twenty-four I still find myself wishing on stars . . . every night. I generally try to keep to the same wish because I feel like it increases the chances of that particular wish coming true. Yes, I do realize that wishing on stars is pointless in the effect that the star has no outcome on what happens, but I find myself doing it anyways.
I have tried to keep more wishes more practical recently as I figured that makes the most sense. However, this past Thursday I was driving home from the African Drum and Dance concert when I suddenly saw a huge shooting star going past the sky. Generally, when I see one it doesn't register in my brain quickly enough to make a wish even in circumstances in which I had planned ahead of time to watch them. That day though it did and I made the first wish that came to mind. It was definitely not practical. It probably would never happen. It was a wish that I have long giving up wishing. Yet, at that moment, it was quite obvious that was what I do want.
I don't know how I feel about that. Like I do want what I wish for to happen, but like I said, it was not a practical wish. Thus, I think I'm just going to go back surpressing it, and instead, focus on finding a job so that I can then find an apartment and actually start living the adult life. I don't want to focus on foolish other things instead. I don't have the time for that.
