So lately I've been thinking: where did the time go, where have the days gone... why is it so different now? Now that we're older, that we're more sane; smarter. Why can't we believe in angels anymore? Why can't we wish on stars, why can't we believe that wishes come true.
I always wonder when we lost the ability to believe in things like that. To make a wish, and then somehow believe that it'll come true. I used to wish on stars. I used to believe that the stars would tell God. I used to think that somehow, my wish would come true. I don't remember how it stopped. I don't remember one time when my wish didn't come true. I used to wish on stars so that someone else knew what was going on in my life too; so that someone could fix it; because I knew that I couldn't fix my situation, but maybe someone could. I don't know how I lost that faith, I don't how I managed to start thinking that no one wanted to hear about my thoughts, my feelings and my problems.
I think that this faith; the faith in people, the faith in love, the faith in peace and the faith that everything is going to be alright, is what keeps a smile on the face of a five-year old. They never doubt for a second, whether or not they'll have a friend at school today, or whether they're putting on too much weight, or whether their clothes are too unfashionable. They never doubt the fact that somebody loves them and that somebody cares for them, they put their everything into day-to-day tasks because they're never worried that their best is not good enough. they wish on stars, because they know that believing in the simple things is what keeps life from being complicated.
