Sunsets and Swingsets.
Wednesday, March 31, 2010


I just came home from a lovely afternoon. I stayed at the neighborhood playground and enjoyed the cool summer breeze as the sun was about to set. It was incredible.

The colors of the late afternoon sun were breathtaking. I don't ever recall feeling so happy about something so simple. It was the way the hues were painted across the park, melding with the shadows from the trees... The delightful wind... There was just something about those moments I spent there. This afternoon was an afternoon I'd never forget.

It's also interesting to note that I was probably one of the oldest people there. Little kids were shooting weird glances at me. I just smiled.

I waited quite a while for two children to finish swinging. I had my eye on the swingset almost the entire time I was there. When my turn came, oh boy, was I excited. I couldn't help but feel a little triumphant when I took my place on that swingset. I was looking forward to a good swing all afternoon.

I sat. I swang. I went higher. I was on top of the world. <3

Figuratively speaking, of course.

I hadn't felt so free in a long time. Holding onto the chains, bending my knees as I went backward, stretching my legs as I went forward, going higher and higher... bending over backwards to see the world upside-down, looking up at the sky, thinking as if I were going to fly if I swung high enough...

I feel as if I really did, "Taste the sky and feel alive again."

I was happy I brought my iPod along with me. :] Thank you, Owl City for being the soundtrack of the best afternoon I've had in a while.

At the end of it all, my legs were tired and my hands were covered in rust. Was it worth it? Of course.

Best. Afternoon. Ever. MLIA.

Hello! You've made your way to http://for-a-million-reasons.blogspot.com, otherwise known as my little corner of the internet.

Kay, so this blog was set up for the purpose of expressing my thoughts and views about things to everyone. It also serves as my public online journal.

By the way, I can get pretty insane, so a lot of what I'll be posting won't make sense. If any of you die because of brain damage due to brain cells dying at a rapid pace, I am not liable at all. You've been warned.

But seriously, though. I'm not that bad. D: I'm just misunderstood.

The views expressed in this blog are a matter of opinion, and I don't give a sheep if you're offended by them in any way.

That's also unlikely to happen since you probably don't give a sheep about whatever I post here anyway, lul.

Also, the layout I'm using at present is not mine, though I've altered the codes. Not by much, though? xD Yeah, yeah.
Have fun. :]


Ask me anything. (:


Uh. Tweet?
