WEEK 6
An image that has been stuck in my mind for the past couple of days is the thought of visiting my best friend Sarah in Portland Oregon. Since 2nd grade my friend Sarah and I have been literally best friends. I have countless memories being with here and growing up together. Us going to different colleges after high school graduation was something we never wanted to think or talk about. I have finally planned a weekend trip to visit my basketball star best friend in Portland. The thought of flying there on my own, being picked up by her at the airport, and staying in her dorm for 3 nights is comparable to the thought of Christmas day as a young child. I am so eager, and filled with excitement for this weekend. Since I haven't actually gone there, all I do is visualize what it will be like. I just see happiness and joy as we are reunited and spending the weekend partying together! This is image is stuck in my head because it is something very important to me. It is also new and a fresh image. I cannot wait to experience this blissful image I have glued into my mind.

I like how you're focusing on an imaginary image. I think we all daydream more than we admit, and create images in our heads of a moment we're anticipating. This can be destructive, at times, because sometimes the real event falls short of our expectations, and isn't as good as the real thing. But often I think daydreaming of the moment is just a way to enjoy it twice, even if it ends up differently than we think. I hope you have a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this I really wanted to go and see all of my friends. I liked how even though you had not experienced this yet, you described exactly how you have imagined it.
