Listening to: the format- on your porch
Everyone knows that cliche phrase-- 'my life flashed before my eyes!'
I started thinking about this a little too much. At first, I was just wondering if this really happens. I decided with myself that it does. It reassures the expiring that they actually did live a life; regardless of how meaningful it was.
I didn't stop thinking there. My mind kept talking to itself. It was quite annoying. It was wondering what would flash before my eyes? What singular moment(s) were the most significant in my not-so-very impactful life?
I thought and thought. I tried to think of my happiest moments. I concentrated on the times when I was having fun with others. There were plenty of them. I love those like crazy. But the thing was, they weren't much of a big deal when it came to learning something out of it.
So i thought some more. This time, I focused more on times of learning. Times of solitude. I'm most likely oblivious to the most important ones, but I found the a few things which I thought would probably flash:
-The time in 6th grade when Hilary came to my party and told me she was moving away. We sat on the playhouse in my backyard and cried together. It was my first real cry.
-I was surrounded by people at my second concert a while back. I saw everyone going crazy to the music. Then i looked at myself. Just standing there bopping my head. Then, I let loose. I went crazy. I felt the music and I started freaking jumping all over the place. I was in my own little world and realized it doesn't matter what others think.
-Ah, my first passionate kiss. Not my first kiss ever, though. That one sucked. Ha. This was a few after.
-Last year, I was walking home from babysitting. It was only two blocks away. Estimated time was about 10 minutes. But i didn't return home for two hours. I ended up taking a walk alone in the dark. I found myself at the park I grew up in with myself laying on the metal slide. The sky was perfect, not a cloud in it. The big dipper was right above my head. It was the first, and only time so far, that I felt at total peace with myself. I was in some weird zone of harmony with everything around me.
-When a stupid boy hurt me, I went in my room and layed on my pink carpet. I put my face down in it. I lifted my head to find one spot of my light pink carpet had turned into a dark red. How? My eyes watered all over it. Emotionless me was crying tears of heartbreak! I broke down the damn wall.
-Last but not least, many faces would flash before my eyes. And I'd hope some people would flash longer than others though. All my family members who I am ridiculously thankful for because they impact my every day so much. This house almost defines my entire life. And all the many people who taught me anything, small or big.... teachers, friends, enemies, and um my lovers haha.
i still do not have any idea what is going to happen, if anything.
your buddy.
your awesome
