those quiet moments

You know those times where there's commotion going on around you, but you don't want to participate in it? You're perfectly fine with sitting in the backseat of the car alone, with just your thoughts for company, and absentmindedly humming along with the radio? Yeah, I had one of those moments not too long ago. I like them. I hadn't had one in forever, so I absolutely loved it.

For me, these moments are rare. They're different than "off in your own little world moments." They're more meaningful, and leave you feeling content. They're relaxing, comforting, and enjoyable. You're not daydreaming your life away.
Another example of these moments is when you wake up in the morning. Not wanting to leave your warm cocoon of covers, you simply lie there, observing every moment of peace until you come back to the harsh reality that you must get up and do school.

Or how about walking around say, a campsite, and you see a little scene that's picture perfect. And so you photograph it, feeling slightly nostalgic and whimsical, though you don't know why. It just happens, but strangely, you're okay with that.

 

I'm really loving these moments, and I'm getting them more often. I hope I never take them for granted! Have you ever had one of these quiet moments? :) Thanks for reading!
