We kept riding.
The skies had been raining down on us, but we had kept riding.
Let me start from the beginning.
From the start, things were great. Ever since I woke up this morning. This was probably the best rainy day I'd ever encountered.
I've never talked to someone this much at one time. I've never talked about those personal questions, such as what you believe in with the quality of life, to someone. I expressed my feelings; got everything off my chest.
And, still, the rain poured.
The cool drops, the slight breeze. Sure, it was a little chilly. But did that stop us?
Not at all.
We kept riding, talking about the greatest things.
Even the boy.
Truth be told, I believe I am over him. Maybe it was talking about him; maybe it was fate. Either way, I'm glad it's done. Of course, there still are those other 'ones.'
Those ones who go to different schools.
The ones who I've met maybe once or twice, but they're still there, on my heart, forever.
And as I think of these small glitches in life, I reflect on the good memories, and live the moment. Looking out at the rainy weather, I accept it, and know that the good days are coming.
"You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act."
--Barbara Hall.
I'm alive. That's all that counts.
I've been catching up on your blog (which I found through "Things Not Heard" http://thingsnotheardthere.blogspot.com/, which is fantastic, so I trusted the recommendation) and I'm so glad I came! I love that you can still see the silver lining, even when your heart is breaking. You have hope. The world needs more of that. Keep it coming. You've just grabbed a new follower.
