I don't pray, i wish. I make wishes on a lot of things. Fallen eyelashes, shooting stars, birthday candles, if i catch a clock at 11:11 etc. I've never believed in a god to pray to and i think that wishes are less of a request, more of a hope for something to come true. It somehow seems kinder to whatever forces/situations/coincidences/events that occur to make my wish come true.
I'm not sure that made any sense.
But anyway...If wishes were fishes, my pond would be full of more dead fish than water. So you're better off listening to Nephy ^^
