2.From the bench, describe what you see, what you feel, what you think, what you want.





As I sit on this bench, I feel as if I am the only one that has sat down on this woody structure since I last sat on it. I feel like this bench is supposed to be here and only for me. I feel independent and free. As I look upon around the park, I feel unbroken and independent from the world. I see a small abandoned playground. I see a seesaw which looks very dead from a distant. I see swings that don’t seem to be moving all that much for some time. I feel as if the whole thing has stops and only nature is alive. I see a so many things, trees, rocks, plants, and other benches which surround me, each carrying out their own story and significance. I listen to the nature call as the wind makes the outside layer of leaves on trees sing. As I sit in this bench with ten other benches nearby me, I am completely awake about the moment. I feel the soil below my feet; I feel the warmness of the sun .As I sit here, I feel that I’m a part of nature. This bench made me realize how many things have changed in the past few years. I feel safe with nature as though I am a part of it.

So I'm just thinking about how much I don't want my life to be boring. There is so much I want to do, so many dream places I want to explore but I don't surely think it's ever going to happen. I just don't want to be one of those people who work somewhere they hate or live somewhere they don't want to live. I feel like my dreams are too naïve but I learned that we are born, we die, and in between we make a lot of mistakes. Minutes have passed I was thinking of somebody, someone very special in my heart. I can’t help but think about him. There’s something about him, something extraordinary that makes me feel simply happy and blissful. I can imagine him, I can see him, and I can feel his presence. I can picture him sitting with me in this bench. I recall his smiles, his laughter’s, I can hear every strike and pluck of his guitar. I reminisce about our good times together, our remarkable moments that we promised to cherish forever. He loves playing the guitar and he always plays for us especially on special occasions or celebrations. Every day that goes by it look as if I learn something new about him to love, it's incredible to me how some people can make such a big change in my life. Meeting him was destiny, becoming one of his friends was a choice, but falling in love with him was beyond my control. It’s pretty obvious that I like him, but the good thing is he is still my friend. I'd rather be his lover than his friend, but I'd rather be his friend than his nobody. He is one of my closes friends and we have memories that will keep forever and moments that shall never be forgotten. I sit here alone with my music up, recalling all the good and the best moments of my life. Here I am in love with his presence of existence and everything about him. This is my first romance, the instance my heart skipped a bit, the moment I saw him was the moment I found myself falling in love with a simple, smart, artistic and beautiful young man. I have been coming here for 3 years since I came here in Canada but this is the first time I have truthfully given it this much feelings. I want more people to feel the way I do as I sit upon this bench. I want everybody to realize the existence of nature which I encounter when I’m just alone and independent from everything else in this world.
