Reverb 10
Day 3!
December 3 Moment
Prompt: Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). (Author: Ali Edwards.)
The night after I asked Jacob to move out. I went on to clean the entire apartment, sobbing my eyes out the entire time and listening to a lot of OneRepublic. I remember thinking how incredibly bright the lights were in the bathroom and wondering why I was tasting so much salt. I literally scrubbed the bathroom until my fingers were raw. You know that kind of raw where you touch something and you feel it about 10x more than you normally should. It's so extremely sensitive because all of the chemicals that you've exposed to your skin has eaten away your skin... I was so exhausted afterwards that I just collapsed into bed and cried myself to sleep.
I felt so alive because I felt more aware of everything around me, more aware than I had in a long time. It was a vivid experience. One I hope I don't revisit for an incredibly long freaking time.
I am also enjoying how most of my posts for this are starting to generate a little theme...
