I am a firm believer in 11:11, whether it be during the afternoon, which is usually just three minutes until the end of my third period class, or just forty-nine minutes before midnight. It's one of the few specific times I look forward to daily in my life besides 2:50pm when I get out of school or 10:00am when church service starts. Once the minute hand reaches the eleventh tick, or the minute goes up and turns eleven, I automatically close my eyes and make a wish, wherever I may be, regardless of what I might be doing or where I might be at the moment.
It's an automatic reflex.
Most of my wishes do come true, especially the ones during the day, simple ones that just pop into my mind in an instant. They are usually made for me, not to be selfish or anything. The wishes I make at night though, I go into more depth and thought, and usually wish the same thing three or more days in a row. Those wishes are set aside mainly for love ones.
Sometimes I make a ton of wishes, thinking one after another, fearing that I would forget something important. This isn't often though since I have two chances a day to make a wish or two different ones. Wishes do come true, especially the ones that are intended for positive purposes. Before or after I make a wish, I sometimes think of Snow White singing "I'm wishing (I'm wishing), for the one I love (for the one I love), to find me (to find me), today (today)." No, I do not recall ever wishing for my future prince to come find me, sweep me up into his arms, and carry me away. Maybe when college rolls along. Also, who could ever forget that "the most fantastic, magical things can happen, and it all starts with a wish." as said by Jiminy Cricket.
It doesn't hurt to make a wish, so make one, two, three or more. 11:11 doesn't have to be the time for you, it could be anytime. But in my case, it is just the right time for me. 11:11, make a wish. <3
