Putting one of my most treasured memories on paper, paired with a song lyric I think really sums it up. My mind goes back to it a lot when I'm quiet, and it often feels like some part of myself will always be trapped in the moment. It's kind of like Vent Art, but mostly just bittersweet.

If anyone's wondering, the memory is from back on October 3rd, 2023. I was on a school trip, we were out having free time. I was with him, and we were walking and sat down at the edge of this little cliff to rest. Sun was setting, all the leaves were gold, and I can remember him pointing out some sort of birds or a certain cloud, and I looked over at him and he had the biggest smile on his face, and we were both laughing and carefree. It was probably that moment when I realized I cared about him as more than a friend. I can't remember having more of an overwhelming feeling of joy and contentment. Said person is now not as happy as they were at that moment, and in those few days, and lot of stuff has happened, good and bad, but mostly bad since then, and it makes the memory very bittersweet. I'd probably sell my soul to be able to go back. 

Sorry about the bad quality.
