Eyelashes and magic 8-balls

     Twice, I have made the same wish on eyelashes and twice they have not left my finger. Once, I asked a question dealing with the wish to a magic 8-ball and it replied, "Signs point to yes." So in my mind it's still a no. I believe that even if I had three "yes" responses on an 8-ball, eyelash wishes are more powerful. I know it sounds silly but it's what I believe.
     I'm nearly an adult yet I still wish on eyelashes, dandelion puffs, and the first star in the sky at night. I ask for advice from 8-balls, horoscopes, and fortune cookies. I cry as the result of my thoughts, my dreams, and the small things people say. I'm nowhere near being grown-up.
     I mean look at me, I'm five feet tall and a senior in high school. (This is the part where you chuckle to yourself.)
     On a serious note, I enjoy the happiness. But who doesn't? Just to clarify though, I'm not talking about happiness. I speak of the happiness. The happiness and happiness are two completely different ideas. Happiness can be derived from anything, anything. Someone smiling at you can make you experience happiness. Finding a ten dollar bill on the ground can allow you to experience happiness. The happiness is what you feel between the people you're around, there's nothing more I can say to explain it.
The happiness is just the happiness.

From Before. It may be hard to accept but you just have to. You don't have to do something great to be remembered. Even the little things do it. One great thing can be lost to the mind, while dozens of tiny little things will always be remembered. If you wish to be remembered, just do what you do and do it with pride.
