Since I was a kid, i used to be able to sleep through anything; storms, neighbors, you name it. Last night I didn't sleep. Maybe because today was my 15th birthday. And you know its funny, unlike other years, where I had been selfish and only thought about who would notice, and if anyone one would appreciate that I'm still here, today all I thought about was a wish. That one special wish you make as you blow out you're candles. I guess I had forgotten about this wish the past couple of years seeing as when I was a little kid and wished for super powers that never came, I got discouraged. I haven't wished since. Thinking about it, I noticed how our wishes get smaller as we grow older, as do our dreams. But not today. No, today was different. Today was my day. My one wish. I thought all day about it. And as i sat there staring at the flickering candles, I closed my eyes and made a wish that sounded more like a prayer. "Please.... This time, let me make a difference." I opened my eyes just in time to see the smoke from the extinguished flames. "Just let it be different this time."
