Why You Should Always Wish Upon Shooting Stars

Dreams can come true, but you have to believe

Some people believe that shooting stars are a myth. They believe that the shooting stars are literally just meteors falling from the sky, and they are, at a scientific standpoint. But then there are those people out there, like myself, who believe that if you wish upon a shooting star, that you wish will come true.

I have proof that this can happen.

About a month to two months ago, I was driving to Kansas City. Something told me to look up at the sky as I was passing over the Missouri River, and when I did, a shooting star made its way across the sky. Of course, I did what any person would do. I made a wish. I wished that the person that I fall in love with will love me for who I am. That I wouldn't have to change anything to make them like me and that they would like me for my personality and not just my body. I wished that this person would be someone who I could do anything with, whether it be corny walks and picnics or nights in watching movies.

Big wish, right? I know what you're thinking, "How the hell did that come true?" Let me explain.

Three years ago, when I moved to a town three hours away from home, not knowing anybody but my sister, I met this guy who became my best friend. Now, I'm not saying that this friendship came easily, because it didn't. If you know me in person, you know that I'm a hard person to get along with. This progressed and we started hanging out more. It wasn't until this summer that we ended up actually telling each other how we really felt and ended up dating.

I never thought I would be able to tell someone that I loved them and actually meant it ever again, especially after everything has happened to me over the course of three years. But here I am, still standing strong, and being happier than I ever thought I could be. God has a plan for all of us, and even though you think He may be out to get you, He isn't. He can only do so much, it's you yourself who has to make the final jump through the ring or be give the final "okay, fine" and open the door up that He has placed right in front of you. If I never did, I wouldn't know what I would be doing.

So please, by all means, wish on shooting stars. Wish on every single shooting star you see, because even though it's classified as a myth, that could be God's way of saying, "I'm listening, speak to me."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
