a first for me
About 2 weeks ago I went over to Gettysburg for an evening. My friends and I ate at the cool Irish pub, my favorite place. After finishing dinner we were going to go on a ghost walk, but the only available one was the walk we had done before. Instead, we decided to do something different: go on a carriage ride.
The 4 of us got in the carriage. On this October night, the sky was unblemished by clouds, the air crisp and cool. There was a wool blanket that we laid across our laps to keep warm while sipping hot chocolate and taking in the view of Gettysburg, distorted by darkness.
As my eyes peered into this vast darkness, I saw my first shooting star. Not many people get to see such a sight. It brought tears to my eyes, knowing that there were so many things I wanted to wish for, but knew they were too far out of my reach to ever attain them. So many things have taken place these past few months, some good and some bad, and yet I don't have anyone to share everything with anymore. My girl friends have each other and my guy friends have their girlfriends that they're so happy and in love with. I used to be one of those girlfriends.
