Relax

This past Thursday I experienced the most calming time in a long time. After school before football started I decided to avoid the hectic locker room and laid on the field and read The Great Gatsby. The only thing I heard was the wind and my own thoughts, something I rarely have time to listen to. I realize that I only laid there for around ten minutes, but in that ten minutes I was unbelievably calm, something that I haven't been in a long time. I just wish I had more moments like that in the hectic life I lead. Maybe someday when I settle down I can spend more than ten minutes alone with nothing else to worry about but me.
