"Aw man!" Sarah cried.
Stella looked down, and realized she still had the majority of the bone. She smiled simply, and thought to herself, "Please grant it..."
Sighing, Diana huffed for Sarah's sake, then looked at Stella. "Okay, fine. You won this time. What'd you wish for?"
"Hm. Nothing of importance."
"C'mon Stell," Diana poked, "We all know what you wished for."
"Really now?" She asked.
"Yeah, you probably want Mickey's attention!" Sarah piped, grinning slyly. Diana joined in, but their faces dropped a bit when Stella shook her head.
"Nope. Something more general."
"General?" Sarah rose a brow, before slumping, "Damn, there goes my theory." She looked away with a blush, "Man, I really wanted AJ to come..."
Diana said nothing, but her eyes turned towards the vast landscape of their town. Stella and Sarah joined in, the sweet air filling their lungs. The air smelled of BBQ, and light. It was cold, but warmed as it entered. It sent a small high up Stella's back, and spread. The sunset was making red in the sky, blue tracing the outer and upper sky. The yellow slowly disappeared, and stars blanketed the sky with small lights.
"But really, Stella," Sarah said, "What did you wish for?"
She smiled, "Nothing of importance, really." Closing her eyes, she faced the sky.
"Stella..." Diana and Sarah got ready to jump her for the answer.
But Stell added, "Just wished for happiness."
-
Happiness. It is the center of the world.
Happiness is everything.
It makes you live, makes you want to keep going everyday.
Laughter, memories, dreams, friends, love... all of them consist of happiness.
But though there is happiness, pain is there to counter it.
Pain and sadness. Sadness and pain.
It's the pain that makes us let go, but it's the happiness that makes us hold on all the tighter.
It's the moments of silence when we let a loved one go, or when we are laughing at the dinner table because someone went through hell at work because their boss is an a**.
Sometimes though, the tighter you hold, the more it wants break free.
Sometimes it's best to let go to hold on.
Sadness makes you let go. It also makes you want to hold on for as long as you can.
We search forever for happiness, and we do find at least once in our lifetimes, whether or not we see it.
They're the kisses on your head, the look in your eyes, the smile on your face, the screams, the point in time when your mind goes
blank. completely blank.
But when there is one thing, there is also another.
They're the pain behind your eyes, the breaking of your heart, crying of a name, a wish you could only say to yourself without grabbing too tight...
But that's the way the world turns.
For that moment in time when our minds go blank, and we're holding on too tight, we live a lifetime of sadness, regret, and so many
happy
pleasant memories.
We all wish for something that will make us happy, or maybe for some one else's happiness, in which will make us even happier.
Some wishes are harder to grant than others.
