Sleeping in late, having no homework, being liked/loved back, hugs that last for more than a minute, first swim of the summer, a smile from that special someone, laughing till your stomach hurts, getting unexpected gifts, not remembering when you last cried, getting an A on a test you didn't study for, when he texts you first, looking at pictures from when you were little, living up to someones expectations, when someone tells you they never wanted to loose you, knowing you are loved, being called beautiful, finding those jeans that fit perfectly, finally eating the food you were craving, waking up & realizing you have hours to sleep, making a stranger smile, eating seedless grapes, freshly vacuumed carpet, putting on sweatpants after wearing jeans all day, when little kids draw you pictures, making new friends, being told someone is okay, when someone tells you that you smell nice, winning an argument, proving a smart person wrong, listening to your favorite song, receiving hand-written letters, falling asleep to the rain, finishing an essay, when people laugh at your jokes, smiling, getting a friendship bracelet, finding out the name of the song that's been stuck on your head, packing for a vacation, perfectly peeling off the price sticker, realizing it's Friday, knowing you will be okay.
I love this. You wrote some of the best things.
ReplyDeleteNice job.
I really really like this. I did a similar thing in one of our 5 prompts we do on our own. It is refreshing to take a while and remember the small and simpler things that make us happy. It's almost like therapy for me. People don't think about these simple things all the time but I think we should take the time to remember. Good job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, simple idea for a writing prompt. Stuff I like.
ReplyDeleteI might steal this. You did a good job with it, by the way. Not just the prompt but the result of the prompt. There were so many I agreed with. You managed to be real without being weird, if that makes sense. (Sometimes I think in order to avoid being cliche, writers are so off-the-wall that their writing becomes strange. You managed to avoid cliche while keeping your writing familiar to me as a reader.)
