It's 11:11, make a wish!
A wish is a hope, or desire, for something to (or not to) occur. In some cultures, there are customs that are passed down from generation to generation where wish making is encouraged. These are encouraged by blowing out the candles of a birthday cake, seeing a shooting star at night, tossing a coin into a wishing well or fountain, or breaking the wishbone with someone (and getting the end piece). It is commonly believed that wishes only come true if you keep them a secret from others.
Do you make wishes? I make wishes all the time, but most of my wishes are made when traditional wishes are encouraged. There are very few that I've made when I didn't fall into one of the experiences I listed above. Have you made a wish that came true? I've had both wishes and dreams come true. Do you believe that wishes only come true if you don't tell anyone about them and keep them a secret? I believe wishes made on normal days can be shared, but a wish you make when you blow the candles out on your birthday cake, see a shooting star, toss a coin into a well, or something like that, should not be shared with others. Have you ever wished for something not to happen and it did? That's only happened two times in my life. I'd much rather not go into detail about it, though. If you would like to share some wishes you've made, please direct your attention here. |
1. Do you make wishes?
I have a few times in the past. I remember my mom would tell me to make a wish before blowing out my birthday candles. We both would also make wishes using wishbones as well. 2.Have you made a wish that came true? To an extent but not completly. However, I have had numerous amounts of dreams become reality. 3. Do you believe that wishes only come true if you don't tell anyone about them and keep them a secret? It depends on the wish made. If its something silly then I think its okay to tell what it is. However, I think its better to keep certain wishes, like ones made on shooting stars or ones made by blowing out the candles of your birthday cake, to yourself. These are your personal wishes and no one really should know what it is you wishes for. It will spoil the surprise if it comes true. 4. Have you ever wished for something not to happen and it did Not that I can recall... |
The only wishes I've made that came true were ones that were likely to happen. I wish for it not to rain tomorrow and I get sunny skies, that sort of thing. Of course it happens that they don't come true just as easily, i.e., same wish, but with an overcast sky.
I don't make wishes with the thought that doing so will change anything. It's more like reaffirming my desires to myself. I don't normally tell them because I don't want to be embarrassed about the ones that are silly, unlikely, personal, or whatnot. |
Do you make wishes?
At times I do. Only sane wishes. Nothing like $1,000,000 or anything. Have you made a wish that came true? I think one time I wished for an Xbox 360. About 4 - 5 years later I got one. Do you believe that wishes only come true if you don't tell anyone about them and keep them a secret? Already found out that it's a hoax. Have you ever wished for something not to happen and it did? Mhm. To not be so naive, way to go ego! |
Do you make wishes?
Hm, Yes, I do make wishes. I sometimes stay up until 11:11 just to make one xD Have you made a wish that came true? Sadly no. Wishes never work out for me Dx ...although, I did get that camera I wished for last year.... :3 Do you believe that wishes only come true if you don't tell anyone about them and keep them a secret? YES! I don't like sharing my dumb wishes anyways ^^ Have you ever wished for something not to happen and it did? No. Everything happens for a reason.(well, i think it does) |
when i make wishes, i usually try to think of it really quickly, so it ends up as a jumble inside my head. lol |
I make wishes all the time...mostly about the guys I like being 'more than friends.'
If we are still 'Just friends,' I'll stay up until 11:11pm again<3 They usually don't come true...*sadface* |
|
I break the wishbone purely in competition XD

2. Perhaps at some point. If so I couldn't remember. 3. No, not neccesarily. 4. See #2 |
Do you make wishes?
Ya, I do make my wishes, they are secret. Have you made a wish that came true? Ya, some of my common wishes many-a-times come true. Do you believe that wishes only come true if you don't tell anyone about them and keep them a secret? No, I feel that wishes if told to some one doesn't make a change~ Have you ever wished for something not to happen and it did? Many times, most of my wishes which are time limited does not get fulfilled. |
1)Do you make wishes?
Yes, I do 2)Have you made a wish that came true? Actually, yes! I wished that I got at least a 90 average on my report card a year ago, and I ended up with a 95! Still not sure how I got that 100 in social studies... 3)Do you believe that wishes only come true if you don't tell anyone about them and keep them a secret? Naaah. 4)Have you ever wished for something not to happen and it did? Loads of times. xD Like once, I wished for it not to rain the next day, but it did. ;; |
1. Do you make wishes?
Yes I do, even now. 2.Have you made a wish that came true? Yes, like obtaining my own laptop. :> 3. Do you believe that wishes only come true if you don't tell anyone about them and keep them a secret? Actually, no. 4. Have you ever wished for something not to happen and it did Yes, so many times. |
Do you make wishes?
Yes, usually only when it's traditional. I've made wishes outside of tradition, but, they were urgent enough. Have you made a wish that came true? Yeah, I've had wishes come true, but rarely was it what I consciously wished for. Oftentimes when I make a wish, I'm quite uncertain exactly how to mentally word it, so the intent of my wish is generally honored even if I don't put it in words that are clear enough in meaning to satisfy me. There is indeed power in a wish spoken out loud, but the rule to keep it a secret is wise in a way. Usually I am careful about who I speak my wishes to. Do you believe that wishes only come true if you don't tell anyone about them and keep them a secret? Yes, in traditional wish scenarios, it's required that you don't tell anyone what your wish is. Wishing outside of tradition doesn't require that. Have you ever wished for something not to happen and it did? A time or two. Usually these types of wishes don't turn out prettily in my experience. The event that replaced the event that I wished to avoid was worse in some ways that the event I was trying to avoid by wishing. In both cases, the wishes in question were non-traditional, mentioned in prayer sort of things...Let's just say that He will do what is truly best for you, but that doesn't mean that you're going to like the outcome at first if you leave it in His hands. (You'll surely understand it later, and realize that the outcome was for the better in time though.) |
