Keeping Memories, Saving It For Rainy Days
I remember being on the rooftop in Jamaica looking at the picturesque view in front of me and taking it all in. It was a beautiful warm evening and it was the last day of 2019. I couldn’t help but have chills decorate my body while the wind softly touches my soul. I knew my dad was with me looking through my lens seeing the mountains. It just hit me I had a dream months later, I was in Jamaica.. my father was beside me and I was looking at the mountains.
Saving memories for rainy days…
I tend to daydream a lot especially when I am bored, aggravated, or just somewhere overthinking as usual. I have fantasies to take me out of my environment at the moment, think about funny jokes I shared with friends, times I ran into strangers and made them smile, or moments where I was happy to be in that moment of life.
Life, I usually think about it a lot.. especially when at the moment I feel overwhelmed with the surroundings that time chose for me. It’s my mental escape that brings me on a joyride. That helps to know my past was memorable and my future will be my light.
I try my best to not be a victim that creates my slow stressful demise. Life is not supposed to kill you day by day but it’s supposed to give you experiences to cherish and learn from.
I reminisce about the warmth of the water on my brown tanned skin in the ocean of Turks & Caicos. The sun was burning my skin a little but I didn't care because at that moment it felt euphoric. I looked in the clear blue water, scared I may see a shark (I laugh at my silliness) but to my surprise, I saw a small fishy coming near me who was curious at the foreign being that was in their territory. The calmness I felt seeing the fishy so close to me.
“Sara… Sara.. are you there?” A being calls my name and I hear but not listen to what they have to say to me. They interrupted my moment but not for too long because I always go back. My daydreams bring me to spaces I can’t even explain.. who needs a teleportation machine when your spirit can take you anywhere you want to go at any given time….
