Tachikawa NO JIRETTAI BURO-GU!

I was walking home just now, thirty minutes past one in the morning. After 2 days of endless revisings in the school library with few winks in between, and tonight. Tonight… I was reminded of how the smallest of things matter.

No matter how big your dreams are, you should never forget the small things in life. For they bring you great joy in a world where everyone’s competing for something; everything. As I was walking home just now, this awesome song by Mr. Children came on my earphones. It was this happy song titled ‘Hanabi’ (fireworks). At that exact moment as the light guitar strummings started to fade into the song, a breeze came blowing my way, rustling the trees around me.

There I was, clad in my comfy and cosy green hoodie, walking home without a care in the world. Rustling leaves all around, wind blowing in my hair and face. The dark sky was strangely inviting, almost surreal. My footsteps were silent, almost non-existent. I closed my eyes and stood on gravel for a moment, I was one with the night. I felt strangely satisfied, a feeling almost alien to me. I’ve forgotten about school; about relationships; about goals; about my past; my future. I was just there, just BEING. I smiled. I’ve never felt so happy for a long time.

In my quest for worldly possessions, I had forgotten how to just be happy.

I thank thee for reminding me ((((:

So happy and contented.

..but don’t get me wrong. I ain’t coppin’ out from my dreams and aspirations just yet!
