If I had three wishes, I wouldn't want to waste them.

There are always going to be ups and downs throughout life, but when a person gets to a point where they are stuck and unable to decide where they want to go, that's when they need a little help. If I had three wishes, I'd save one, and use it to give to another person when they truly need it because I have been that helpless person before, and I know how it feels to be frozen with fear of moving on. Just like throwing a penny into a fountain, I'd want for them to make the best wish they could possibly think of, that will help to pick them up, and give them motivation for another day.

I am absolutely not a realist; if I could bring back my loved ones, I would, without a second thought. So, for my next wish, I would bring back my Pap. Some would say, "everything happens for a reason," but the reason for him going away is not good enough for me and it will never be. This man was more than just a Pap, he was the glue that held strong in times of tragedy. This wish would be in regard for everyone in my family: his wife, his children, his grandchildren, his friends that miss him more than imaginable. I have no doubt that he would be so happy to be with his family again, because that's what he enjoyed most in life. The comfort and support of our family is so rare, that when we lost the one person who made it whole, nothing feels the same. I would wish for my Pap back to not only have my bestfriend with me again, but to bring our family back to normality, happiness, and fullness again.

Lastly, I would spend my last wish wisely. For now, I know my top two wishes, but am still unsure of what my last wish would be. There are times when I would say, "I wish I had that." But, I don't think I need it. I know that the best is yet to come, but it is very possible that the worst is yet to come, too. I have only been on this earth for 18 years-- I know I will need that wish eventually. I don't know how it would work, but if I could, I would save it in a container that only I could open, when the time is right. I will keep it in a safe place, where no one could ever find it. I would tell everyone I used it, so they wouldn't go looking for it. The point is: Right now, people think they know what they want and what their life is going to turn out to be. Truth is, life is unpredictable. If you wish to be something you are not, chances are, you will dislike the person you changed into more than your original self. I wouldn't waste my wish to change myself, because I know that time will do a good job changing me for the better.
