As I turn 23, I wish for peace in this world.
I wish that people would learn to get along. I wish for those in Africa - man, woman and child alike - to stop bearing arms. I wish for them to stop being killed. I wish for them to stop killing. I wish for a more permanent resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. I wish that tensions in South-East Asia would quell, so I do not have to constantly worry about the safety of friends and family.
I wish for a calmer heart, a clearer mind, a fiercer intellect. I wish to purge myself of all the sorrow and anger that have churned so relentlessly within my being.
I also wish to convey my love to my friends, and my family. I wish to convey my complete admiration and adoration for all of them. My world is a better place because of them. I can accomplish so much because of their inspiration and support.
And they are my people, as much as I am theirs.
