A Quiet Moment

You're tired, it's late, and all you want to do is get to sleep. You see your bed and it looks like paradise at the current moment. You lay down and that in between moment occurs. The moment between the time you lie down and the time at which you fall asleep. In this moment you physically see the inside of your eyelids, but you figuratively see anything you desire. You can replay your day in your head, think about everything that occurred or happened during the day. You think about problems or concerns, upcoming events, your schedule for the following day, and anything else you want to think about. You hear the silence. You hear mysterious clicking and settling throughout the room. You may hear the sound of a fan, or other appliances in the room humming or whirling. You hear the sounds coming from outside through the open window. The sound of the wind humming and whistling, the sound of people talking and screaming outside, the sound of cars, sirens and other noises coming from downtown. You can create anything out of this moment. You can let your imagination soar, and drift off into the ultimate relaxation.

How Could I Forget?

How could I forget my 4th grade best friend, Erin. At the time, we were ten years old and she was a small girl, just as I was. Erin had sandy blonde, long, flowing hair, and bright blue eyes. She was a very tiny girl who generally wore jeans and t-shirts. I picture her now, as an adult, and She seems very much the same. She has long sandy blonde hair, maybe a little bit darker than it was as a child. It is still long, and pin straight. She has fair skin, and the same bright blue eyes. She has a very young face as well. It's like it has not changed much since we were ten. She is normal height for a girl, probably around five foot three or four. She still has a tiny build, and is very thin. Whenever I see her now, I see she has a similar style to when we were little. She wears jeans, UGG boots, and t-shirts or sweatshirts. She has a very laid back style that compliments her personality. How could I forget about my best friend throughout elementary school? Its odd how people fade in and out of our lives, but no one will ever be completely forgotten. No one will fade out of my life to the point of nonexistence, I will always remember the important and influential people who travel in and out of my life.
