Be careful what you wish for. You might not like what you get. Some people wish for things without thinking about the challenges that await them ahead. Such as, wishing for a promotion and then getting more tasks then they can do. Or they wish to have children when they end up with twins, which they can barely handle. Or winning the lottery and spending all the money at once and not having it when they need it the most.

I made a wish; I wish my father was out of my life. Unbelievably it came true. Not too long ago I was walking down the stairs only to see my mother crying. I asked her why she was crying, she said my father has left. I didn’t know if I should jump for joy or shed a tear.

Why would I jump for joy my parents are getting divorced. Well, he wasn’t a father figure to me. He was verbally abusive and sometimes physically abusive. I was a child with high functioning Autism, which was called Asperger’s Syndrome. He never understood it, he kept thinking that I didn’t have any problems, and that I just liked to irritate him. Which brings me to why would I shed a tear.

My mother became really depressed. My father is the money maker of our family. So without him we can’t even Financially support ourselves. My family is losing our house, which is probably the worst part of this divorce. I grew up in that house, all my life I have lived in that house.

So, before you throw a coin into fountain, before you wish upon a shooting star, before you blow dandelion seeds, before you blow away an eyelash, and before you blow out your candles on your birthday. I believe you should be careful what you wish for, you might not like what you get.

Most people say things that they do not mean. Some say “I hope you die” or “I never want to see you again.” What if it actually happened and it could not be taken back? Be careful what you wish for.
One night at a party my ex-boyfriend, John and I were arguing. It had been going

    The first thing Reba says you need is a wishbone. You need a wishbone because you need to have hope. You wouldn't wish for something unless you wanted it. Wanting something will give you incentive to go out and get it. It will also give you hope that your wishes will come true. This will help you succeed in life because you will work for the things you want and that will help push you to be better.…

    It only happened a mere one and a half decades ago: surely he wouldn’t remember me? I learned a lot on that day when the sun decided to frown all day long even as we stood outside that block of flats. At least I can now truly say that I was sorry for what I did. I believe that God will answer my prayers and forgive me for all I have done.…

    I sat at the table, grumpy and confused. I look up to see a grinning face at me. Not a normal happy grin, but a big, goofy, “I know I’m being stupid” grin. The grin passed slowly around the table, my dad, mom, and two brothers stare at me intently, mouths wide, teeth showing. Finally I give in and let out a smile and a laugh.…

    In my personal experience with parental divorce, depression was a major distress. My parents divorced when I was a junior in high school living in a small town. One month after the divorce I moved to a new city by myself for two months, and then my mother moved. I was very much without parental supervision for the rest of my life. My mother was there for me when I asked, but I took care of myself. I did not start experiencing depression until I was in college and dealing with the normal stresses of working too much, taking fifteen hours of classes, and involved in a serious relationship. These are normal stresses for the average college student, but due to built up anger and issues with asking for help, I fell into depression. The actual separation of my parents was not the exact reason I became depressed, the actual reason being that…

    Logically, it is impossible to stop yourself from hoping certain things, but it becomes a problem when hope for something good becomes a delusion. It is good to hope for better conditions, but it is bad to call hope a virtue, then use that to justify deluding yourself into thinking that you know things will turn out how you expect them to.…
