If I could wish, I would wish I could sing. I would wish I was pretty, had worth and value- not only to others but to myself. I would wish to bend time, to have motivation to make my dreams become even feasible realities. I would wish true love existed, or at least that I believed in it again.
Oh I'd make silly wishes, too. Make my room clean and neat, give me some money, maybe even an extra large pizza with bacon. Grant my phone the power of infinite battery life.
And then there'd be the good wishes: Get me back into college, eradicate my friend's cancer forever, let my Grandma remember. The infamous notion of world peace. A day where everyone would have food, disease would just take a vacation, and everyone could smile if they chose to.
See, wishes are different. They have infinite power, good intentions, few restrictions. Wishes allow freedom of mind and creativity. They do not rely on a higher power who's will and desires oversee our own. Sure, some attribute wishes to genies or stars or even wells halfway filled with water and washed up dreams. Wishes are different than hopes, or even dreams and desires. They don't require life-long commitment, dedication. Wishes can be instantaneous. All it takes is a moment of belief in the impossible.
I wish I believed in them.
