The Perfect Escape
Sunday, June 26, 2016This confession story is a continuation of my latest entry, Thrill of Freedom. Again, in the late summer of that year, I was so innocent and happy—without a care in the world—as long as I could enjoy that taste of freedom. It’s nice to bring back those good memories from the past. Now, I can’t help but laugh when I remember myself back then.
My blonde best friend texted me that day to meet her at school. She let me sit in on her Political Science class for four hours, but honestly, I was glued to my cellphone the whole time and didn’t really pay attention. Hahaha.
Around that time, someone actually asked me to hang out with him that day, and I was like, “Oh my God, I’m not prepared.” I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to because I hadn’t seen him in literally 3-4 years. Yeah, we’d been schoolmates since elementary, but the last time I really saw him was around campus in high school.
So here’s the thing: he asked me to meet up with him and his friends, and I agreed. I told my best friend about it too.
Yes, the shoreline. It’s more than just a place to me. It reminds me of the busy world and sleepless nights. But do you know what the best part was? It happened there. The moment I sat down in the sand and continued the conversation from that first meeting with someone I hadn’t seen in a long time. Time passed as we lay on the sand, stared up at the sky, and watched the stars twinkle until dawn. We had a casual conversation, asking each other everything we wanted to know more about. Believe it or not, we saw over 13 falling stars. Cheesy? Maybe. But it’s one of the most memorable moments of my life.
Care to share yours? I’m sure you’re laughing to yourself, thinking back on moments with your partner. But nothing beats the feeling of carving out time to escape from home just to find a little happiness. Don’t you agree?
Here’s a little tip for the right track on the road: just be yourself, even if starting a conversation feels difficult or awkward. Make them laugh with something relatable, and you’ll make a quick connection. I swear, you’ll get used to it after a while.
