We all have those "Woohoo! It's OVER!" moments and we all love them. Yesterday, I wrote an exam that I have been studying for for what seems like FOREVER, and when I handed it in I was very happy, excited, and proud. Happy and excited because I didn't have to study for it anymore and proud because I didn't lose hope or give up during the studying time. Today, I finished editing a mini movie that my friends and I made. There was over an hour of footage and I cut everything down to about half an hour, put in sound effects, trimmed parts, added some cool effects, etc. Let's just say it was a grueling process and I am ecstatic that it is OVER.
When we say to ourselves "IT IS OVER! YAY," it is kind of like crossing the finish line of a race. It is the same feeling. We are all marathon runners, our lives, exams, mini movies, are all marathons, and we will always find ways to cross the finish line! These It Is Over moments are magical because they make you happy, excited, and proud of yourself.
Have you ever been waiting and waiting for that special night and finally it is the day right before? Or the next day is your birthday and you know an amazing surprise awaits you? I love this feeling of anticipation.
Whenever my family and I go on vacation, I can never sleep the night before. I wriggle and jiggle like a worm and I cannot sleep because I am so excited. Now I am not saying that not being able to sleep is a GOOD and MAGICAL thing, because it isn't, but I AM saying that anticipation as in excitement is magical.
I have a friend who turns all red when she is excited. I know someone else who suddenly needs to jump around and shake out their energy when they get excited. I think we all have those excitement moments. Today, for example, I am super excited for a project my friends and I are getting together to work on tomorrow. I can't wait!
Excitement is magical because it gives you energy and something to look forward to!
I am very sorry that I haven't been able to update my blog for the past few days. This is because I have been away from home and haven't had access to the computer. I hope you will forgive me by accepting my latest Magical Moment: the sweet feeling of arriving home after a trip, journey, or adventure.
This weekend, my mother, father, and I went on a mini vacation where I also participated in a competition. It was a great experience. I went swimming, we ate a lot, relaxed, went shopping, and did many fun things. Even though at the end of the three days, it seemed like I was leaving our hotel room- my new home- I was actually coming back to my real home. When we opened the front door and stepped inside the walls of our house, I knew that there was no place like home.
I can remember a few years back when my family and I went to Mexico for two weeks. After the two weeks of sunshine, we came home. I can remember pulling up in the driving, and stepping into snow that went up to my thighs. They say that home is where the heart is and I can really say that I was glad to be home.
There are so many stories, both real life and fantasy, that show that there is no place like home. The Wizard of Oz for one. Or when soldiers come home from war. One of my favorite songs is Coming Home by Diddy-Dirty Money featuring Skylar Grey. Listen to the first thirty seconds of the song... It speaks for itself.
These coming home moments are magical because it warms your heart and makes you feel like no other place will!
These It Is Over moments are magical because they make you happy, excited, and proud of yourself.
