Wishes.

Wishes

Back when we were young, whenever we walked past a fountain, we would beg for a coin to throw in it. Whenever before we blow out the candle, we will close our eyes. Whenever we see a star, we will make a wish.

When we were all young and innocent, we believed in wishes. We wish to live in a huge mansion in the future, we wish to be a policeman/doctor/scientist/others, and we wish for happiness.

But as we grow older, we lost hope, lost faith in our wishes. We stopped wasting coins on fountains, stopped looking out for stars, and almost always never make a wish before blowing out the candles (until someone reminds us that is).

We saw the real world, the real life. We know that wishes are useless, only by doing then can we achieve something. So we stopped wishing.

Almost all of us have wishes. However, these wishes are not like the ones we had when we were young. These wishes serve only to remind us of what we do not have. In a sense, instead of making us happy, hopeful, these wishes only put us down.

We can hope, but they never come true.

I will get a sense of happiness when I see other couples. But it's only for a moment.
