I’m not talking about the light to heaven, but the light you see after a rough time. As I was walking home I looked up in the sky, took a deep breath and changed the playlist on my MP3 player from ‘quick list’ to ‘happy music’. I felt a wonderful feeling I hadn’t felt in a while, general relief and happiness. The sky was beautiful, the clouds looked light and fluffy, the air was crisp and fresh with a tinge of the night, the grass looked greener, my bag felt lighter, the wind blew my hair just the way I liked it, I listening to ‘honey, honey’ by Amada Seyfried (from Mamma Mia the movie soundtrack). I thought to myself “hey, life isn’t that horrible, the weather is beautiful, my hair is sitting just right, I’m not awfully behind with homework, I ‘mended’ some ‘tears’ (purely metaphorical), I just bought some wonderful Nine West booties, my Vis Com work turn out exactly the way I wanted it to, I’m not hungry, I’m designing for the ‘spotlight’ formal wear competition”. The only not so wonderful though I had was “I wish there was someone here to share it with me”.
Then I thought “wait…. I said what? DESIGNING FOR THE SPOTLIGHT COMPETITION???????”
-Nearly faints and forgets all good thoughts-
I nearly hyperventilated, the competition ends on the 26th of August, I only started designing for it today, I haven’t even refined anything, or bought any fabric and there was only a month to go!
The it dawned on me, I have loads of homework, the ‘tears’ were just covered up, I don’t have any waterproof spray to waterproof my nine west suede booties, I forgot to spray setting spray n my Vis Com work, I am craving comfort food, and I only have a few weeks to get all the info for my RMIT course. All of a sudden the sky looked darker, the clouds heavier and darker, the air smelt like fertilizer, my hair was getting tangled in the wind, and the play list reached its end.
I sighed, got out my keys to my house and though “eternal euphoria is just a temporary thing”.
