We just layed there, on the bridge, and watched the stars last night. I saw a shooting star. They never last for long, but they always make me wonder in awe. I'd much rather stare at the sky all day and night, while picking blades of grass from the lawn, meditating on God and life and boys and friends and books, than watch tv. I'd much rather ride my horse than a rollercoaster. I'd much rather see a shooting star than fireworks. I'd rather be held in a certian someones arms for hours and hours than be getting drunk, or doing whatever a typical teenager does. I'd rather live life the way I want to and never let anyone influence me. I'd rather paint my toes hot pink and leave instead of taking hours to look perfect. I'd much prefer sipping wine to drinking shots. I'd prefer to have a complex mind but live a simple life. Fast-paced has its place and time, but we've forgotten that there's a time for the simple things.
Why has our world got so caught up in the complicated things and technology that they miss the little blessings in life. Complicated can be great, but why do we forget to get up off our lazy arses to go outside and see a rainbow? Why do we forget to take a walk by ourselves and just reflect? Have we really forgotten how to love? How to love life and cherish every moment of it? I hope I never do. I hope I never forget what it is to truly live.
