There's no such things as shooting stars.
They don't exist.
They're meteoroids - pieces of cosmic debris that have entered the Earth's atmosphere...basically just rocks or parts of rock-like objects. Most meteoroids are smaller than a grain of sand. The path, the light that we see, the thing we call a "shooting star" is called a meteor.
It's not as...romantic or magical when you think about it that way. Who wants to wish on the light path of cosmic particle entering the Earth's atmosphere?
No, I prefer shooting stars. I'm sure it seems childish or naive, but I don't see any harm in believing in shooting stars and shooting star wishes.
It's kind of like faith, or at least, that's how I think of it. I don't mean religion, just faith. It's knowing that something doesn't make sense or acknowledging that something seems impossible but believing in it anyway, regardless of what makes sense, what's logical. I don't think there has to be a reason or an explanation for everything. I think there are certain things that should be able to ride just on faith, even if it's something silly that's just for the sake of magic and...whimsy, like shooting stars.
Everyone believes in something.
Some people believe in a lot of somethings.
I think I'm a person who believes in a lot of somethings. Some of them are silly...some of them aren't.
But I definitely believe in shooting stars...and shooting star wishes.
