Soft Feelings as the Moon Reflects in Your Eye
Well, yesterday was the 4th. Easily my favorite holiday. I had no plans from the get go, but it all turned out well. The fourth really starts on the night of the third for me, it’s when Provo actually comes alive and leaves the stagnant, hidden state it exists in the rest of the year. The energy arround University Avenue was very reminiscent of NYC. Which invigorated me to a better feeling of life. There’s nothing more splendid to me than the constant noise and bussle of people moving about their business, having fun, and trying to stand out from the crowd. That makes the fourth in Provo the best two nights of the year for me.
The night before I stayed up till four AM. I played and watched others play Rock Band, which is a grand old game to play. Then I had a very good time getting to know someone I had just met that night. The actual day of the fourth was almost perfect, work was the only spoiler.
Watching fireworks that night was the icing on the cake. I got to spend it with old friends, new friends, pretty girls, a Marine, close friends and strangers. Anyone who knows me, knows that no matter what i’m doing, if it has that mix of people, or something very close to it, knows that I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
That’s the simplicity that I have found for myself. Nothing really matters in this life. and the things that do you can lump into two categories: 1. Your own personel decisions, and 2. People. That’s it. That is what makes the world go round, and it’s what makes the Gospel so beautiful. Money, belongings, jobs, and everything else will go by the wayside. But if you aren’t making the proper personel decisions for yourself, and do not treat people with politness and respect (therefore gaining close personel relationships), then nothing you ever do will matter.
I love my friends, I love every single second I can share with them and cherish every single word expressed by them. I may not do it all the time, or be there as much as I wish, but when I give an account to my Savior of how I treated everyone in the end, I will stand boldly before Him and say I loved them all to my core and with all of my heart, inspite of, and because of whatever flaws they might have, offenses they might give, or wrond decisions they may make.
And that’s how the cookie crumbles.
