User/blogger: Bow and Aaren
My life was perfect. As long as I can remember, everything was planned out for me. Not in the way you might think, I was not ever rich. But I don't care about that. They made every moment special, taught me lessons out of everything. Meaningful ones. They planned how I would view the world, and it was in a very positive, loving way.
Like the time I blew out my 6 candles on my birthday cake and they fell on the moist grass, my mother caught one of those candles in mid air, the one that hadn't yet touched the ground.
My mother said,"Aaren, remember, some things happen so fast you believe you can't possibly stop them." She then took my hand and placed it on her heart. "But if you act fast, as quick as In a Heartbeat , maybe you can change what happened, or even prevent it from ever occurring."
My 6 year old self was in wonder-meant, staring at mom with wide eyes. My mother demonstrated again by dropping the candle, but then catching it swiftly with her free hand. I was eager to learn back then, how she did it. I would take the candle and every night I would drop it, and catch it before it hit the ground. If I messed up, I would try again until it was perfect.
What I didn't know, is that I would lose my parents and they'd leave me to learn the rest of these lessons all by myself. I didn't know, that I would meet a boy who acted on everything based on his feelings. I didn't know, this boy who acted In A Heartbeat as my mother once did, couldn't change what happens, or prevent it from happening. I didn't know he would eventually actually end up catching that candle. And I sure as hell didn't know that candle ended up being me.
