Twinkle Twinkle little star

When i was little, someone told me to make a wish on the first star i saw to appear for the night. So, i wished for happiness. I've probably made a billion wishes on happiness alone. I couldn't tell you how many times Ive wished upon the first star i see appear for the night. I never wished for ridiculous things, like a million bucks. Although, it would be nice. It was always simple.

Happiness comes and goes. Im usually pretty optimistic about life, and when i get down it only takes a second for me to get back up. Right now, i would say im the happiest ive been in a really really long time. So granted, that wish i know without a doubt will always be true.

For so long, since i was 15 or so, i have wished for the "Prince Charming" to find me. This one might seem ridiculous to some, but its every girls wish. There were a few that could have fooled me, but soon were revealed to be fakes, or frauds. One might have been close, but not close enough. As i got a little older, my dreams of the handsome man arriving on the white stallion were diminishing. I started loosing hope and stopped wishing.

About a year and a few months ago, One night, while sitting in my bed, i was looking out my window- the stars were beautiful. Of course there were about a trillion of them, not one was the "first star" to be seen for the night. I closed my eyes and wished for the world to send the right man to me. I could have repeated it a hundred times, maybe even fell asleep saying it over and over. After that, i continued on with life with this thought in the back of my mind, always wishing on that "star".
A few charmers, but surely not any of which were near prince, came, and went. I still carried on.

Months passed, and i was so busy looking up wishing, and waiting. I forgot to look in front of me. Eventually the slight tap on the shoulder and a clearing of a the throat caught my attention. (Okay...so it might have been a little more noticeable than that.)

Well, world, thank you. My wish has been granted. Now i am happy, and he is here!

The Dreamcatcher

Sitting here on the edge, i look down upon all the little lights glittering below my toes. I am on the top of the world, with only a cup of wisdom in my hand. I can do anything i want. But what? I ask this question every day. Every second. WHAT TO DO?
I have the world at my feet and all i do is sit there and gaze. Being a Sagittarius, i change my mind a lot. I am okay with this though. I like to experience new things, and have new ideas flutter across my mind.

A Little girl sits in class learning about "Growing up", the teacher passes out a piece of paper explaining to think about what they want to be when they "Grow Up" and to write it down, and draw a picture of themselves in that profession. The little girls mind goes wild. She often dreams of being a ballet dancer, but also wants to be a mom, and then creates an entire life with here little mind. She smiles and draws a picture of her holding a baby wearing a ballet tutu. Soon enough the little girl "Grows up" and realizes its nearly impossible to live off of dancing in ballet, gets a full-time minimum wadge job and tosses the dream she once had in the trash. She also realizes that babies are by no means easy, and puts that dream in the back of her mind.

Why cant life be as simple as writing down what we dream and drawing a picture and having it come to life?

Well, as i was before, I will sit with the world twinkling at my toes listening to Bob Marley, and holding the cup of wisdom and dream my dream of what i want to be when i "Grow Up".
