I saw a shooting star today
It was around 7 - 7:15 PM, don’t exactly remember but I was just admiring the clear, cloudless sky after so long when i suddenly saw a blueish-white streak of light just cut through a small portion of the sky, and it didn’t even last a second, just appeared suddenly and vanished. My dumbass brain initially thought it was a bird of some kind considering the speed, but if it was a bird then it wouldn’t just disappear like that. So I got convinced that it was a shooting star and then made a wish.
I rushed to tell my mom about it, and she said that I should’ve also said the name of seven fruits to be free from any bad omens! And I was out here thinking that just making a wish is enough, at least that’s what I learnt from watching Doraemon.
Anyway, 5 years ago me would’ve probably wished for a girlfriend, to get rich quickly, and gain six packs after waking up tomorrow, didn’t wish for any of those today. Even though I don’t necessarily have any of those today, I just wished for something that I hope will make me a better person, it was literally the first thought that came to my mind. Now I don’t know how much truth there is to the shooting-star-fulfils-your-wish theory but it was a first time experience and I figured it would be stupid to not even try.
