Enough

I am filled with excitement; its finally getting cold outside, fall is here. Oh you will hear me whine about how I’m cold, and how this is just the transition to something much colder, but I’m happy about it. While walking home across sweet heart circle, it caught me, the sun and the trees, all working together with the leaves; I was smiling and wishing moments could last forever. I dashed into my room stowed my books and bag away, after grabbing a light blanket and a book, I returned to that place. But when I got there the feeling had gone, the sun wasn’t exactly the same, and nature lost its team work in mere moments, my face must have shown the appalling subjects of my thoughts. It moments like this when you are standing in the middle of a blank park or university landmark, that you make decisions. Is your life going to be about chasing moments, always on the tailcoat of something that could be, or just was? Or, are you going to take control of the small moments and the simple things, make your life and your experiences truly yours. With a slight smile tugging at the corners of my mouth, I took my usual small steps the perfect spot, under the perfect tree and made my afternoon mine, for reasons only special and meaningful to me, and you know what, that was enough.
