As a child, I'm sure your parents told you that you could make a wish if you caught the clock with all the same numbers showing. ie 2:22, 4:44, etc. Just so happens I glanced at the clock last night as it displayed 11:11pm. I immediately thought to myself, 'this means I need to make a wish.' I sat and thought for a second, only to come to the conclusion that I completely lost as to what to wish for. My mind was blank, yet simultaneously overflowing with thoughts, I just couldn't think clearly. For what does a 28 year old wish for? Surely I could wish for money, health & well-being, power. Those all seem like logical quick answers, but I was trying to think of something else, something that pertained directly to the situation I'm currently in. I decided I needed to wish for something more specific.
Clarity seemed like the right answer. But alas, I questioned myself again. Obviously clarity did not present itself immediately, or else I would not be questioning myself so quickly. And so my decision was to sleep on it. Ponder it awhile, and let it settle.
It's now 8:30am the following day, and I believe I am still entitled to my wish. Just because the moment passed, does not mean I lose my wish. Surely not. That cannot be the way a children's game works. It would be expected, however, for a child to make a wish almost instantaneously, not "hold" the wish for a later time, but I'm going with it.
So what did I come up with. A laundry list of things passed through my head, but ultimately through all the haze and fogginess, the only wish I could truly wish for, was for clarity. That is what I did. Who knows what may come of it? Whether it will come true and give me some insight into the random, convoluted mess of thoughts in my head or be a complete waste of time? Only time will tell. I prefer and hope for the former not the latter, but we'll see.
So my first blog post might leave someone wondering what my current situation is... For that you might just have to continue reading my blogs.
