Images and Moments
Images-
This weekend i witnessed three amazing images. My favorite image was in Saint George. At about 11:30 on friday night, some friends and i went on a small hike. My friends told me i could see the ocean from there and to lay my back on the ground and look backwards. I kept telling them you couldn't see the ocean from Saint George, but they assured me you could. Sure enough, i saw what resembled the ocean at night. It was amazing! Sky turned into the ocean and the city's lights turned into the lights on ships.
Another image that caught my eye was a couple i saw at a restaurant. I saw a black man and a white woman holding hands at a restaurant and i thought it was really neat to see people who didn't care about what others thought of them. I have a friend who took a lot of heat for dating a black man and i know every inter-racial couple does.
I saw a student in a wheelchair, with absolutely no limbs, hold a door open for another student. I thought it was amazing that someone with such a battle to fight of their own, would take the time to hold a door open for another student. I can't imagine being in his condition and it made me really think about how selfish i can be at times like when I get upset over a big pimple.
Moments-
This weekend i saw an old friend. She was my very best friend for at least four years of my life. We had a horrible falling out and completely quit talking altogether. I saw her this weekend and we spoke to each other. When we parted ways, we both realized we were at different colleges in different towns and we wouldn't see each other much anymore. We realized we'd wasted half of highschool hating eachother and just before we parted ways, we hugged and both began to cry. It was a moment i'll never forget.
This weekend i also experienced a moment with my room mates. We've all been nice to each other and we haven't had any problems so far, but we hadn't connected either. Saturday we all found ourselves sitting in the kitchen talking and there was no awkwardness to it at all. We all laughed and enjoyed ourselves and it was the first time we really came together.
Another moment i experienced this weekend was a bit sad. I haven't felt homesick since i've been i Cedar City, but for some reason, I was quite homesick Sunday. I had a long talk on the phone with my mother and just before i said goodbye to her, i cried. I just realized all at once, everything my parents had done for me and i realized they're two of the best parents this world has.
