Wish upon a star...

Hi toni Never and Always. Confusing statement but yes, I believe that because the child in me, (and also the grown up me), makes me believe in - Miracles do happen. And yes, everytime, when I feel hopeless, and there is a feeling that I am helpless and cannot do anything but stand in a corner and watch... this takes over. Though I dont get to see many falling stars, but there are some other local superstitions that I do and feel better. I somewhere know that nothing will change but still, it is the getting of this "Hope" that makes me do it.

Even as a kid and up until now, I constantly wish upon a twinkling star or even a falling star. There's nothing to loose and everything to gain in case your wish comes true... and I think I'll never stop looking up at the stars on a clear cozy night and make a wish upon them till I grow old or even die. :-)

Well i wish that wishing star wishes would come true then if my wish was fulfilled it would be pointless making that wish and on the other hand if it wasn't fulfilled there is no point in making that wish is there? Confused? Kidding. Yup we have been told as kids that shooting stars make wishes come true. I have never been that lucky to even see a shooting star of my own to make a wish so i want to see one now. If it were so then the whole world would change no? People who see the shooting stars would be everything and anything! So i guess maybe that's not true!!! Cheers!

hi, when i was a kid till teen age,i always waiting for a falling star so that i could wish what i want to,even now i still do believe on it.i think i saw falling star four times in my life and every time i saw them i wished.

Like everyone even in my childhood I used to ask for some wish on seeing a falling star.But I do not remember any of my wish getting fullfilled though.However the habbit has stayed.There are many legends regarding the origin of this tradition.As per one our ancestors were afraid of the falling stars as they thought it was the way the Gods travel hence they used to ask for the wishes hoping them to come true.Another Norse legend says that some Norse warriers were returning home after a long battle and were eager to see their family.In the open sea they saw a lot of falling stars and thought that someway the world is coming to an end.Hence they wished for a lst chance to meet their families and finally when they did met their family they thoght of the falling stars as a good omen and the belief stayed.

I guess that when I was a little girl, I also believed on the wishes before blowing out the candles. But now, I think that no star can make your wishes come true if you don't work on them. I removed this from my mind, and now I'm just working hard to get what I want. Can sound pessimistic, I know, but I guess is the truth. Or maybe, that star and the candles are helping me with my hard working, maybe they give me that hard work, I don't really know. But would be amazing if we can discover that all those things are true!

When we are kids,we used to believed in so many things,good things that make us dream and wish we can have it,or we could be one of those. Like fairy tales,of princess,kingdoms and knight in shining armor..or the silver lining. Wishing upon the start is one of the most common beliefs that kids look up into... gazing up the sky hoping to see one. I also keep my fingers crossed hope to see and wish on a falling star. Sometimes even cheated myself that i've seen one...or my eyes cheated me. but now that we're grown ups...no more believed on things.. Not even my kids ever believed such,since they know that stars won't fall..and it's just meteor showers that we're seeing.

When you are a child anything can seem possible. wishing on a star to make a dream come true is something any child could see the reality in. As we get older we still like to carry that dream of childhood with us. It might not be practical to believe in wishes coming true on a star but who is to say that it can not happen?

It all depends on the person, I personally have seen a shooting star and I wished something that I wanted to happen. After that incident, I always had bad experiences about my wish. I thought it was fake and would never come true. Who knew, few months after that, I got my wish came true. But I was not expecting it at all, since I lost interest in it. Haha. So yeah, basically that's my experience.

Hmmn, my beloved grandfather told me this and I believe it...I guess it didn't come true for you because it involved another person...but, it's all in your mind's projection actually, the power of the mind

i don't believe the saying!it's just a wish.when we have difficulties ,we want that god save me,but it never work out.so i just believe myself!tbhough i have never saw a falling star before my eyes,but i wish i can see one someday,i think it romantic and beautiful

no,we should wont belive about these type of stories its only will power and positive effort will make all the things happen in this world but making a belief upon this superstrisions is not good it will waste all our beleif and time in deed.so,go ahead with confidence and positive thinking wont belive like this.
