meaning: wish away

[Srdjan]

Hi guys,

i would like you to help me understand the meaning of the verb "wish away".

Let me give you a couple examples:
---------------------------------------------
I'll unashamedly empty out a whole suitcase full of cliches now, as I say to all of you who are parents of your kids: They grow so fast; Don't wish away today (thanks to my mom for that one);

Your messages will be completely under my control, so take advantage of this opportunity and wish away.

So I was so broadminded that I wished away my fate.

-----------------------------------------------

thanks,
Srdjee

It can have two meanings- in the first, it means that you wish something were over or finished; in other words, enjoy the moment, don't be impatient for the future. In the second, it means 'make wishes freely'.
