They say that if you make your wish on your birthday at the time that you were born, it's more than likely to come true...
Now who "they" are is still a mystery, but I like the idea.
What appeals to me the most is the ultimate wishing part.
The thought of time standing still just for a moment...
I can look into the eternal flicker of a candle and think of a genuine time when I laughed more than I spoke because I didn't speak a language yet.
And I seemed to say so much more...
(without fear, without apology and with an abundance of smiles and hugs)
I remember a time when all things were possible.
When all of my friends (imaginary, invisible, and real) were all around me.
The dreams that I have are without limit.
They don't need "steps and goals and discipline".
They're just dreams.
Remember dreaming.....just 'cause?!?!?!?!?
Wild and uncontrollable, my dreams are as much a part of me as my soul and my limbs.
This is my wish.
To get back to wishing without putting myself into a space to wish.
I will wish as I breathe.
And I will not translate my glitter.
I have sTrIpEs, and slants, and bubbles.
I also have sadness, and shaydows, and overwhelming pockets of emotions at times.
That is who I am.
And I'm looking forward to tomorrow at 12:01 p.m.
According to the legends that is when I will be greeted by my invisible enemies, and long lost imaginary friends.
The birthday veil will be lifted and they'll remind me that everything matters...
And that nothing matters.
A contradiction?
*******************yes*****************
Which leads to the following questions...
What matters to me now? And what mattered to me when I was six?
I'm going to be thirty-six in twenty-nine minutes.
I've decided to lose the thirty.
And now I'm remembering something....
My heart and spirit feel stronger than ever...
The veil is lifting....
I can almost see them =)
Life Is Beautiful.
