Like A Growing Seed, This Jealousy Knowing, Makes Me Believe

The shore near, the scent of home far, but I clung on. The rough bark of the log chafed against my bare chest, and my hands were weary from holding on. I inhaled, praying that my body can push toward the sand, and I felt my strength bitterly rise for a last stand. I heaved my futile body on the dry sea of sand and quietly allowed the light to dance one last time in the sunset of my existence.

Waving goodbye from the backseat of the car, as we pull out of my parent’s driveway. Looking out the window at the oddly, white shaped clouds. Thinking, I had never been away from my parents and my younger sister for so long, even though it was only for two weeks. I was excited and scared all at once, but I wasn’t too thrilled about the whole 29-hour drive there. Hoping that the trip would go well and nothing bad will happen to us.

You decided take a hike through the woods you know the area so you not going to get to lost. You head out the door and head for the woods you find a hike trail and follow it. You hear the crunching of leaves under your feet sounds of nature all around you as you continue to go along the trail. You find a trail going up and up as you go up it finally comes to an abrupt end there's a bench you sit on it and look out and see a huge forest. A lush green forest sprawled out in front of you the sun's rays illuminating certain parts of the forest you see trees swaying back and forth from the breeze. It's quite beautiful you stay there until the sun start setting and you realize you have to head back nothing else you can do so you had back. You see

It was a beautiful, sunny day in Puerto Rico where my family and I were taking a vacation that spring. As I lay on my dad’s colorful bed in the small pink villa on the water, I find it hard to enjoy the view that comes from the balcony and the salty smell of the light blue ocean. The villa resides on a rocky cliff where the rippling ocean waves smash onto the rocks below. The waves, which usually relax me, are insignificant. I see colorful houses that run along the water for miles just like ours. In the corner of my eye I see the infinity pool that looks out onto the crystal clear water. Something else is on my mind. Something not even the alluring scenery could take my mind off of-death. One month earlier, I lost my mom to a vicious disease called cancer. Its evilness left my family and I broken and sick at heart. When I look back now to that vacation, I think nothing other than sadness and mourning. Maybe it was too soon to take a vacation, I thought. My dad walks into his room and sits next to me on his bed.

I had never been so happy to see someone. I hadn’t ever been alone for that long. It took a while for either of us to open up about the tragedy but I finally did. Turns out we were on two different parts of the plantation when the wave hit. She was one of the ants who attacked Leiningen. She went on to tell me that they had Leiningen down for a few second then out of nowhere he got back up and took off. It really kills me to think we were that close to winning. How many more bites could it have taken for me to have all of my friends and family

During the whole trip, I felt mixed emotions. Does anyone remember that scene in Tangled where she feels conflicted at leaving the tower, and is both sad and happy. That was me. I was excited knowing I was free from the grasp at home, but scared at that same reason. Before I knew it, I reached Sand Lake. I looked up to the tall building which towered over us just a few feet away. But then water filled eyes, my bike falling to the ground.

As I neared my house my heart...oh my heart. It completely dropped at that moment. The house had been burned and only a few walls remained. Without even thinking I walked out of the cover of the trees and began to stare in disbelief

My dad and I had always lived in New York City. After 15 years of experience and the guidance of my older brother, you could say that I knew my way around town. The coffee shops with the best lattes, the highest swinging swing sets in every park, and most importantly, the buildings with the best views. You would think that after living here for so long I would get sick of seeing the view of the city every day, but it just never gets old. The best spot is at the top of my apartment building, on the far northeast corner, looking over the horizon and onto the Hudson. There was no other way of completing my day, no matter the rain, snow, or blazing heat I sat on that rooftop every night as the sun disappeared, along with the overworked New Yorkers for the night. The most interesting part is, every single night, the color of the sky is always slightly different. No sunset was ever the exact same. Anyways, as I was walking back down the stairs to my condo, 7B, I got the jitters in my stomach, I was beyond excited for tomorrow, the first day of Winter Break. My older brother, Todd, was taking me and my best friend Hannah up to Vermont to go skiing. I opened our apartment door, took a quick shower, and fell asleep with Cooper on my lap while watching Full House.

I looked out the window and I saw my school, I could my little kids running and smiling around the playground, a few miles away the car slowly stopped. "We're here", I could hear my heart jump of happiness. We got off the car, I ran and opened the door.

That morning I was very sleepy, that night I didn’t get any sleep due to the excitement I had to be going on vacation. My bags were packed from the night before, so all I had to do was to say goodbye to my family. My mom tear up a little bit, but nothing to serious. I hoped in the car , and drove off leaving my home behind, I had a bittersweet

A breath to build a glow. I've heard it said a thousand times, but now I know. That I do not know what I have, until it's gone. I thought I kept you safe and sound. I thought I made you strong. But this whole thing made me realize that I was wrong. This is not the end and this is not the beginning. This is not what I had planned and it is out of my control now. Thoughts were spinning in my head, and I had so many things were left unsaid. It's hard to let you go. All I can think about is you, and how many little things I miss and love and the memories we made together. I just cannot lose you, because did not know what I had, until it is almost gone. From catching lightning bugs with you and the babies, to every photo on my phone, to picking you up at Michael’s Pizza, dropping you off at Greene’s Orthodontics, to camping, realizing that that could be over and gone made me cry. The little things give us away; I have always said that. Seeing you smile to my dumb jokes, and cheesy pickup lines, to hearing you giggle and scream when I try to tickle you, to being there when you get a phone a

I felt overwhelmed with so many emotions, my heart was beating with every beat of the music. Smoke started to cover the stage and four boys emerged from the fog. I sound crazy saying this, but I do not think I have ever been more overwhelmed in my life. Screams, crying, and singing are all echoing around me as if I am completely still while everything is quickly moving around me. I could taste the cigarette smoke in my mouth from the woman behind me. The concert was filled with so much laughter, singing, and crying. I even made friends with a girl beside me with a green bandana, long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. As the lights faded, the boys left the stage and the stadium became quiet, however all at once, again everyone was talking and crying as they left the packed stadium into the chilly night.

It was like I was dying inside. I couldn't look at him without melting. I couldn't think of him without feeling an immense amount of love. It hurt so much knowing that he didn't feel the same way for me as I do him! And though it saddened me, it also made me feel alive. Like the world would end but it was a new beginning... It's really hard to explain, but I'll give it my best shot.

The air was cold and windy. The beach was black, with small glossy pebbles, and shells. The shells on the beach where beautiful, shiny, and large bigger than my head. The water was gray with rocks that were big enough to climb on. The rocks held puddles of water with ocean life living in them. Small crabs where running over my feet as I sat on the rocks looking at the wave splash against it. A small trail going off of the beach, going to a

I began walking towards the beach and I stopped at the edge of the beach where I decided to put my toes in the water. As soon as my toes in the water I got this light shiver in my body, where I felt like it touched my soul. I could feel softness when the water covers my leg. At this time, I could remember the time when I used to play with sand and water. I decide to come close to the beach and I could hear fishes screaming frightened of their preys that is looking to eat them. These birds have been trying to find their lunch as they are hungry for it. I can see the dolphins jumping around with a smile on their life. It feels like they having the best time of their life, as
