wishing isn't always good for you

For a very long time, I wished for the same thing. I wanted someone and something specific. Then, I started wishing just for anything about this person. Then, I gave up on wishing because I was done with that wish. Now, it is granted. Now I got a little piece of the wish I made every night on every star and every 11:11 and every lucky penny in my life. I wished so hard and when I give up because my wish was a bad wish, it comes true.

Wishing can push you to your greatest moments or your weakest of falls. Being on top of the world wishing for life to stay this way is good. Yet, laying on the ground or the hood of a '97 Buick le sabre for a year is not. Part of learning to live life and be happy with everything is to accept life as it is and not try to change things that you can't.

I love this prayer right now. It is everything in a nutshell.
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

This is something I cannot change. I accept that with peace. I have courage to stay strong and be myself in this situation. The me I know here, and not the me I wish I could have changed. I know the difference here. I can do this. I can be an adult and be friendly and stay strong in my happiness, my friendships, my life here, and most of all in myself.
