Ever since I was little, I’ve always loved being out on the water. Growing up around lakes and oceans, I gained lots of experience with jet skis and cruise ships. The water is somewhat of a getaway for me. I find comfort and peace that I can never feel on land. I let my worries go away. Today was no different.
It was a day of new experiences, meeting people and learning about the importance of family. Out on the boat I felt alive. I got to experience the thrills of the water twice. The first time was about a real connection to the water and the people surrounding me, but the second time is the one I will always remember.
It was sunset. I sat at the back of the boat caressed by my boyfriend’s arms. The awe of seeing painted colors in the sky reflected on the water was coupled with my love for the human beside me. In a meshing of sorts, the colors reflected what I was feeling. Looking at the person I love most made me so keenly aware of the tenderness of the moment and the need to keep it at the forefront of my memory for years to come. The overwhelming feeling experienced in my senses was something that can never be replaced by objects or money. Knowing that God made this world and brought this person to me makes me understand how thankful and blessed I am. It was an unstoppable feeling that made me wish the moment would never end.
Thanks to the ability of writing, I am able to document the moment I will treasure forever and keep the memory alive. Just two humans and the colors of the sky. The most precious gifts of all. Happy New Year.
