Your Stars

"Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now."

These lyrics ring in our head with the same familiar tune that came out a couple of years ago. Seems like it's been a lifetime, hasn't it?

"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are. ANYTHING your heart desires will come to you."

And it seems like a lifetime ago we all used to wish on stars and take a chance. We used to believe that instilling and putting all of our hopes in dreams in a star would make it happen. We used to believe that everything would be okay.

I know I've wished on countless airplanes and stars to see if just ONE of my wishes would come true.

Do you realize that every time you do wish on a star or airplane (most of the time) we don't say our wish out loud? 

We used to believe that when we did wish on our stars, the stars just knew what our wish was and what we wanted. 

What we needed.

We never needed to verbalize it because they knew. Every single star that you ever wished on that ever existed knew what you wanted.

Do you ever look up at the sky and see too many stars to count?

You do realize there are millions upon billions upon TRILLIONS of stars in space. Right?

That's more than enough for all of the people in the world tenfold. That's enough wishes granted for everyone in the world to be happy.

So why not?

There may be trillions of stars, but we only need 7 billion or so. We only need one good wish per person. 

You see, if you're a dreamer, you still believe that the stars know what you need and that wishes do come true.

THE STARS KNOW WHAT YOU NEED.

You may not even know what you need. But the stars do.

So just sit next to your Jiminy Cricket and him that same familiar tune. Whether it's Disney or B.o.B.

The stars know what you need. 

Make a wish.
