If you could slow time to extend the enjoyment from one specific moment or event in your life, which would it be and why?
There are some moments in life that happens and all of a sudden it leaves and after months, you still wish those kind of days never ends. Thanks to the phone and other gadgets that we can use to record those moments and i am glad i took videos of those moments because if i did not, it will be like it was a dream and it never happened.
To be honest, these moments most likely happens when we do not plan for it and if i coould slow time to extend one enjoyment from a specific moment in my life, it would be the 2 days before my 25th birthday and i was glad i actually made a record and it was actually a day that was coupled with laughing, friends and happiness that are real.
It all started when i and my few friends victoria, joy, kawthar decided to spend the weekend all together and this was because they would not be around for my birthday and we intentionally did that and it was an opportunity for me to run away from my usual activities at home and i never thought it would be as exicting as it went.
It all started in the afternoon because they all came to my house from work and we were all tired, so we slept and we had to cook before going out and before we were done it was in the afternoon and we all then started laying down what we are ment to do throughout the day and the first thing was going to a mini mall where creative activities were carried out and got the opportunity to paint on different textures which incluse butterfly and some rounded shapes and this allowed us to express our painting skills which we never had 😅😅.... it was fun doing because we all did it together and enjoyed the process rather than the outcome.
The next place we all headed to was a place which i have never been before and i wonder how my friends knew there and for me that is the main highlight of that day and it was karaoke and being a shy person, i was already thinking of different excuses to give but when your friends are in some things, you cannot escape it. at first when it started i was self conscious but with time as i saw my friends screaming , i started building my confidence by telling myself that i would not see these people looking at me after today.
Karaoke was not just singing along to your favorite songs but it is about that freedom to sing loud even while people are staring and listening to my baby voice and at those moments time felt irrelvant and i did not want the day to end because i have never felt that feelings before and with victoria, joy and kawthar, i felt that sense of belonging that made me believe that my friends truly love me.
As the night came to an end we eventually went home and quietly i started realizing that the weekend is gone already and that is how the best moments feel and tghey leave us wishing we could hold the time and make it slower. This moment taught me taht joy does not always come from long vacations or well planned event but it can happen in an impromptu plans with friends.
Truly sometimes the most meaningful experiences that you wish you can extend the enjoyment are those simplest ones.
