All my special mornings are the same

During my mornings I do not like to rush. Each day I wake up, I always stay a little extra in bed. I get up, do my morning routine and leave for school. The routine is always the same. Even the part where I’m late to school. I always rush out the door, run down the street and if I am lucky that morning, which I usually am, the bus that makes me arrive ten minutes late is always standing at it’s stop, waiting for me to get on. I get on the bus, get off and change to the next and I do not get off until I reach school.

I would say that all my mornings are the same. The only thing different would be the people. Everyday I see new faces, never the same, they always change. The only thing they all seem to have in common is their demeanor, always stressed, rushed and unaware of their surroundings. However, every now and then, as I scan my way through the bus for a seat, my eyes seem to catch onto someone's face or silhouette for just a little bit longer. It seems familiar but I don’t understand why that is, until it clicks! I know this person! And I adore the feeling that comes afterwards, the sense of relief, comfort and joy not only by the surprise but also by knowing that this morning I am not alone, standing next to strangers, but rather standing next to a friend!

And sometimes that’s what life is all about, astounding events that turn our ordinary lives into something special.
