Such a peculiar thing time is. With every tick of the hand on a clock, the future becomes the present, but just as quickly as it came, it disappears and becomes the past. What makes time such a relied upon concept by mankind is what it is made up of; moments, although short, are the most impactful notions to life. We all live the same life, but it is the polaroid printed memories, the amplified laughs, the salty tears, the sweet love, that makes us all so different. Set free the internal mental heckler and allow yourself to become consumed by the thought of something exuberant. The universe has a way of cramming an entire lifetimes worth of joy into a single experience; so think, know, feel the split second emotion that has been etched into your brain, because every moment is unique. The genuine feeling is burned into the mind, where it will become a lingering ghost, haunting you to notice its’ impact. So learn, to cherish and embody the times that mean the most, because every watch eventually stops ticking, and every moment eventually becomes forgotten. Don’t miss out on the good old days.

You shoot your hands up as you prepare for the takeoff. With butterflies forming in the pit of your stomach; 3, 2, 1, and all that’s left in your place is a split second snapshot of the past. You accelerate with great speed into the unknown that is yet to come. As the cart begins to slow as you tread uphill, you begin to feel a sense of fear. But as quickly as it came, it disappears as you reach the top and look back on the place you were just a few moments before. Stuck in blissful loop, replaying in your head like a broken record. As you begin to make your way back downhill you forget your worries for just a moment. But soon, you slow to a still point, as a wave of disappointment overwhelms you. Longing for another rush.

Pitter patter. You listen to the drumming on your roof as you watch from the window. The world masked with a dark grey hue, as your heart beats in synchronicity with the drops that the clouds gifted you. In that moment, you feel safe. But darkness swiftly creeps behind your shoulder, and overtakes the peace that you were feeling seconds before. You grab a blanket to attempt to cover the cold feeling inside of your soul, but it only isolates the freezing, as your bones begin to chill along with your heart. With the only company being your thoughts and the sad song that the clouds sing for you, you cry together.

Eventually, the clouds say goodbye and the sun hello. With it, the birds and the bees come out to sing their song once again. The chirps and the buzz of your subconscious, singing along to every tune. You feel the warmth on your skin as you bask in the light that has been finally been given to you after ages of waiting in the dark; attempting to melt the ruthless ice that has grown so close to your heart. A smile blooms on your face as you see clarity and peace in the budding flowers that grow so close to the path that your feet walk on. You know that the sun won’t stay forever, but in that moment, nature’s song is the most joyful company.
