Unfold your own myth." -Rumi You will never figure out who you are if you are completely content believing everything everyone else has told you about life. You don't have to take everyone else's word for it. Live your own life, figure out what life means to you. Because other peoples definitions and stories are not enough for you to live life off of.

Its not a lack of what I want available in my life, its a lack of me taking, or taking opportunities. I saw that it was myself, not lack of opportunity holding me back. So therefore for things to change in my life and in my friends life we

When I was in high school, me and my group of friends used to look for any and every reason to make a wish on something, whether it was the typical shooting star, repeating numbers on a digital clock such as 11:11 or 10:10, the chain clasp on our necklaces slipping to the front, and all sorts of other random things. I think it's something that's easy to pick up on with all the Disney and chic-flic type movies that young girls see growing up. From Pinocchio, to Cinderella, to Freaky Friday, to the classic The Wizard of Oz there are a lot of films that have story lines built on wishes, and wishes coming true. Lets face it we all have wishes deep in our heart, or worn on our sleeves with the rest of our heart. Some of them are hidden so deep we sometimes don't even let ourselves think about them, and some of them shine in our eyes so obviously that anyone with any degree of insight will see them. Everyone has something that their heart aches at least a little ove
