A hope to see beyond what holds me back
We all have our wants, we have our needs that we need to tend. Some people want fame, fortune, the greatest of glory. I don't have that many needs in life when I look at what other people want to do. This might hold me back from going out there, or it might make myself a more easy going person in life. One of the few things I'd want in life is someone I can look in the eyes and say to myself, "I'm glad to have you here with me." I want to be able to say that while having a strong heart to accompany that statement. I know how much dogs can love their owners, and I know how much fun they can be to own. With a dog, I could get myself out, running, exercising, burning energy with someone I can go around in my life with. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it feels like so much to me. To have someone who'd give so much affection. My mother won't let me get a dog in the house because they've had too many pets and they don't want another. I got this stuffed husky from a visit to a lodge as a child and I've held it close to me for a while. I've gone to bed to hold it with me to reminisce that one day if I save enough money, I could have a home with a Husky. One day my heart will feel whole all because of one creature that lives with me. That has yet to come.
The blinding glory of light.
My life wouldn't be the same without my laptop. The person that I am today would be a lot more different than the person who never even touched a laptop. I've met so many people, I've learned about the world, I've even learned about a few out of class skills that have helped me with some of my classes. Most importantly, it's given me the friends that I lack in life. I've always been so happy to get on my laptop and see my friends and all the enjoyment I could acquire from it. Though with this being the only thing I've stared at for so long, it's taken it's toll on me. Around the summer of freshman year, my eye sight started to become blurry. It was hard to see across distances. It turns out my late had too much exposure to my laptop. It's nothing too much of an issue, I just don't see things in high definition everywhere far away from me. I've learned to live with my glasses. I have yet to be called a nerd, or insulted for wearing them, it's simply become a part of me.
