Little Details

Since I was a little girl, I used my imagination for everything. I walked around my house or any street pretending that I was a wizard waiting for Hogwarts letter (I still do this). Because let’s face it, reality is boring and just stupid. But sometimes my imagination and distractions get the better of me. I don’t pay attention when someone is speaking to me o when I’m walking around my campus so I could easily bump into someone. I get so caught up in my own mind just because I worried all the time about whether or not I’ll pass the exam or if I forgot to something. My mind is a constant cycle of stress and worries of basically anything that can be done very easily. That’s why music means so much to me because is a why of shutting up my mind for a while and just being relax. The problem is that this also distracts more thanks to my imagination. I pretend that I’m Beyoncé or a member of Little Mix that on the outside you may see me with a serious face but on the inside… Huh! I swear to God that is like I’m in a concert.

There are many reasons why this project was very hard for me, which some of them I mentioned above. But the main one is that I didn’t know if I could’ve see all the details and the things that I always miss when I’m walking around on my usual route. You see, it is complicated for me to focus on more than one thing but that didn’t stop me in seeing’s things that I never saw before. Of course, that I never saw them because either I’m running to get to class, I’m talking to my friends or the main one, I’m in my own world. Nevertheless, I grabbed my phone and back pack, and started the new journey of noticing the little things.

The first thing that I said to myself:” Okay, Kiara don’t start thinking about other things like Netflix or something, just focus on this journey”. Trust me, this is very necessary. As I’m walking though DMN to get to my class in the department of Humanities, I noticed a lot of things such as nature and all the people that I never saw before. The students were just so relaxed reading listening to their friends and I don’t why but it made me very happy. There was one thing that I saw very different than before and that is that my university has a lot of nature, which makes it so much better. There was this one big tree just at the start of DMN that I couldn’t help but feel amazed by all the details. It’s really weird how I didn’t see it before. As I kept walking, I saw the most beautiful thing ever: a Puertorrican flag in mosaic. The place of flag is a little secluded so I understand why I didn’t see it before but now that I did, I will always look for it. When I arrived to Humanities, I concluded that this place has the most nature. It has so many trees and flowers but the most thing that I love is the detail of its arquitecture. I thought that I was in the medieval times or something like. I couldn’t stop taking pictures but eventually I did just because people were looking at me. The art, mosaic, how in a window you can get a picture of tree and how one door had “UPR’ up were the littlest details that made me fall in love with my university. I really hope that I continue to do this all through my life because you cant go your whole life not noticing the little things, you know? Those are what makes life beautiful and mean something.
