My personal wish.

nichole snyder, age 19, hostess, des moines, wa.

When I first started this book, my wish was to find true love. Something I'd never really been around, and something I really wanted to know. They say 'be careful what you wish for' and boy, is that true. Because about two years after writing that wish, I got my wish. Love is the happiest, most secure feeling in the world, I felt really complete. But losing it is something devestating, and hurtful.
My wish said this:

I've thought all day about this, Even when I was high last night! But god, it's so hard.
Finally, I chose 'true love'. I'd never be alone, which is one of my greatest fears. And i'll always have somebody to talk to. Even if I was poor and on the streets, I'd still have that one person. Along with true love in my eyes, comes happiness, and comfort. If someone loves you, they love you for who you are. Then, both your confidences must be as high as they can get. You wouldn't care what other people though, it wouldn't matter.
Even if your countries being bombed, and you live in a 3rd world country with 16 kids, you'll have something, most only dream of. LOVE.
That's all I want. To be happy, and in love. like our grandparents, and their grandparents use to be. Not the empty artificial love we see these days.


So, that was my wish. Love. I got love too. and I miss it more and more everyday. Love is something that makes you grow as a person, and for that I'm thankful. I'm that much stronger. And now, I don't have a wish. I got what I wanted.
