Wishes

We all get at least one good wish a year over the candles on our birthday. Some of us throw in more… on beauty… on future… on lucky star…

And every now and then, one of those wishes come true. So what then? Is it as good as we 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 easy stuff. We wish for big things, things that are ambitious, out of reach. We wish because we need help, and we’re scared… and we know we may be asking too much.

We still wish though, because sometimes they come true.
