Love

The sun makes me feel warm. Twirling flags makes me feel dedicated. Writing makes my mind wonder. Drawing makes me feel free. Getting a good grade makes me feel accomplished. Being a mentor makes me feel important. Spinning sabres makes me feel nervous, in a good way. Food makes me feel happy. Field shows make me feel like the center of attention. Listening to music takes my mind off of things. Holding hands makes me feel wanted. Drinking tea makes me feel relaxed. Reading poetry makes me feel inspired. Taking pictures makes me feel creative. Reading a good book makes me feel captivated. Hugs make me feel safe. Rainbows give me hope. Being with friends makes me feel silly. Rain makes me feel concentrated. Christmas makes me feel like a little kid again. Being around family makes me feel loved. Sitting by a fire makes me feel calm. Doing my hair and makeup makes me feel pretty. Helping someone makes me feel appreciated. Halloween makes me feel unique. Fireworks makes me feel fascinated. When people tell me their secrets, I feel trusted. Roller Coasters give me butterflies. Looking at how much I have overcome makes me feel strong. Seeing someone smile makes me smile. Thinking about all that I have makes me feel blessed. But isn’t it amazing how one person can make you feel all of this at one time? -Laura Bussey
