"We always wish for the wrong things."

Our wishes want what reality can't give us.

Everyday I wake up and wish for the luck to be my side, for the day to go smoothly, full of life and smiles.

8:00AM, I wake up and check my phone almost instantly, smiling at her words she's sent hours before I have landed from my plane of dreams. I get up and do my daily routine, staring at my phone while I eat a bowl of cereal, searching for the perfect reply to compliment her words. 

She's special to me, and I'm nothing to her because she is everything to someone else. I accept this fate every morning, yet I wish it wasn't like this. 
Every single day, where the mornings are perfect, where the coffee is hot, and the sun is shining, she is still just a wish. A wish cleverly constructed by my imagination that maybe, just maybe, I might be so special to her as she is to me. A wish that one day, while we share stares, she might have a lapse of judgement and lean in for a kiss.

Like the wishes we make at every birthday cake, I sit silently and smile, waiting for them to come true.

"Trust should be the basis for all our moral training."


You need to trust people. People need to trust you. 

Knowing there's someone you can pour your heart out to makes us humans and vulnerable yet strong. Be it with your deepest darkest secrets, with your treasured items or anything you might require; you need someone to trust.

Now I've come to realize that we trust certain people with specific things. Ergo, there is not not one person we tell EVERYTHING to. You've probably described everything about yourself to best friends, relatives, etcetera but never all to ONE person. This is because we know that no matter how incredibly close and trustful you become to someone, there is always someone who will understand you more clearly. Maybe your best friend is who you tell your dreams to, maybe your lover is who you describe how you like to be touched, and maybe your mom is who knows your every fear and how you like to be waken up on a Saturday morning.

You trust people with pieces of the jigsaw puzzle but you never let them see the full picture.
