I still had some time for my classes to start, and I had nothing to do today, my friend was also absent because of sickness, God can it get any more boring than this?

I sat down at the bench by the street waiting for the bell to ring, I felt a leaf fall down on my head, I looked up to see the tree it fell from, the tree was beautiful, and some of the leaves had gotten yellow because of autumn and I really loved the way it looked, I didn't even notice I was so mesmerized by the tree I lost my train of thoughts, It was like my mind went blank and all I could see was the beauty of nature.

I smiled and brought my attention back to the road, there was so much noise, vehicles rushing here and there, and everyone looked so busy, my eyes landed on this adorable child playing with his ballon, the ballon had already lost some gas and wasn't floating in the air properly so he was trying to blow air through his mouth. 

I heard echoes of laughter from my side, and I saw a group of teenage students trying to finish their homework before their class began, it brought back memories of when I was in high school I was just the same, my friend group and I we used to reach school early so that we could sit and finish the homework together, I can't believe those years went by so fast. I wish I could live it again.

Sitting here made me realise how small things seem when you're experiencing them, but if you look at them with a broader and outer perspective they could mean so much, they could become such beautiful memories we're unintentionally making and that's so beautiful to think, that every moment has the potential to be something so beautiful, but we just fail to notice it.
