See
As I looked at the orange and purple hue falling over the mountains and as I felt the breeze on my neck. I remembered the glare of the sun between the trees warming my cold skin. And as I listened to the familiar sound of a bike rushing by I had realized something
I’ve spent so much time looking ahead, looking down, I forgot what it was like- to exist.
The whoosh of the breeze, the hue of the sun, the colors of a rainbow had all disappeared. The sounds of laughter had fallen away into nothing but a hum. And though I had not realized what I was missing,
I realize now. So, when the sounds of joy, and sights of sadness, and the feelings of bliss come around I will no longer look away.
I will notice them, like they had been begging me to, for so long.
