reminiscing

Don't you ever listen to a song and it automatically takes you to a time in your life when it felt like a complete dream?

I was listening to ribs by lorde today and I haven't been able to stop listening to it just because i resonate so much with it. We so often don't realize small things in life that are so important. Short glimpses of moments filled with giggles that are so important. I often associate and segregate sections of my life in glimpses of songs. For every month/ different period of time, i exhaust a song SO much that it becomes a part of my current life situation. I'm sure im not the only person that does this? I hope not at least. Anyways, moving on from this.

I feel in sync with the different times of the day and often the different time periods of the day fluctuates how I feel. At times, I feel like getting stuck in the evening between 4:30pm to 6:30 pm. Isn't it so perfect? The sun is just about to set but it's placed at such an intersection in the horizon where it pierces at your eye level without hurting your eyes. Everyone seems to be lazing and relaxing enjoying just being. The birds start returning to their homes. The soft breeze flows so elegantly that I feel so free to flow with it and get dragged away from my thoughts. It is the only time of the day I feel the most present and glad to be so lost from my present. Maybe I have been functioned in a way to relax during this time of the day. Since I was a child, my mom dedicated this time period for me to have milk between my study breaks. Naturally I used to look forward to watching barbie life in the dream house during this time. As I grew older and in high school, I started to wait to cram some chai time into my schedule to read my favorite books and write quotes inspired by those books. Right now in college, I try to be free for at least some time in this time period where I can enjoy my iced coffee in the dim rays of the sun. I do not know what choke hold sunsets have on me, and yes I do sound like a 'sunset girl' but so what?? I love the evenings and maybe this is my sanity. Some people find it in books, some in their hobbies, some in watching their favorite show, some studying what they love, I just have different ways of keeping myself sane in a land which still seems so so new.
