When 11:11 rolls around whether it be night or day, you can always find that someone somewhere is wishing. Although this is just seen as another moment of the day some have a deeper connection to this particular time. Wishing at that precise minute is suggested to have some sort of astrological connection to a higher power. Eventhough its just a minute, perhaps it is special in some way or maybe its just some tradition that we hold on to? While some choose to wish for a better life or good grades some choose a more selfless wish, we don't remember how we stumbled upon the 11:11 time but when we remember to check the clock and catch that moment.
I'm am a honest person and I can honestly say I rarely keep anything inside, my close friends know almost every aspect of my life and that's how I choose to live, in an open and honest fashion. I pray everynight for those that aren't as fortunate as I, I pray for family members that I selfishly want to stay alive to watch me graduate college and grow into my own. I wish for global warming to cease, for the people with cancer who should live for their families, for the less fortunate to find comfort in something through their difficult times. I think you get the picture...I wish for a better world we live in and that somehow everything will cohesively mesh together to create a Utopia, although I know its never going to be possible. From the bottom of my heart I wish that happiness will find all throughout their life.
By all means I'm not preaching that I'm the most selfless person to ever grace the Earth and that I go around doing great deeds for all because I don't. I should do more to help others like participate in the blood drive at SF State or even volunteering at shelters but I, like everyone else is consumed with school and honestly just being lazy. Yet, when the eleventh minute comes on the eleventh hour of the day I try to wish for the people that need a little prayer, that need that little something extra...a simple prayer can go a long way.
I definitely don't catch the 11:11 everyday and that's when I turn to my nightly prayer before I hit the sheets at the end of the day.
Now that's a little taste of how I wish for the important stuff and a little insight on what I choose to operate my wishful thinking. I hope everyone wishes for what they desire most, whether it be selfless or not; wishing can transpire to hopes and dreams. Dream big and wish hard, I suggest at 11:11, if you can catch it in time.

Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis. Its not only a biological change from a caterpiller to the pupa and from the pupa to the adult butterfly; but its also described as any complete change in appearance, character, or circumstance.
Due to recent circumstances in my life I realized how inevitable change is, and that's fine, it's when people change for the worst that makes me question the person and the friendship we held so dear. Close friends that have helped me through heartbreak, or a tough class in high school, or even the constant drama that lingers in every teenager's life are no longer in my life.
As the world changes around us I find it hard to adjust and continue relationships that I've maintained from preschool all the way through high school. With the ever changing world and the different environments we choose to immerse ourselves into its difficult adjusting. It's difficult to be that person you once were in high school, while at the same time trying to grow up and discover new things about yourself that you never knew.
I wish circumstances were different, but as we grow up and learn to discover ourselfs in a world outside of high school and enroll into college that sets us up in taking our first steps into becoming adults, we change. It's sad that people change, and not for the better, some choose to drift away from the ones they once considered close allies. The ones you had secret handshakes with or had inside jokes that no one knew about; their absence lingers when you think about your life now. They aren't in it. So I leave you with this, is it necessarily a bad thing?
