The Airport

You know those moments that stick with you, no matter how insignificant they are? This is one of mine.

I was sitting in the El Paso airport. The whole day I had been trying to get from DFW to McCarren Airport, and being two of the busiest airports in the entire nation, I was unsuccessful. I had flown from DFW to San Antonio to Midland, to God only knows where else. This would've been my fifth flight of the day and it was going to be my last. My dad had caved and bought me the plane ticket. So as I sat there, my stress relieved, I remember turning on my iPod, and the first song that came on was Designer Skyline by Owl City. I remember sitting there, looking at the ugly blue carpet, the scary man sitting next to me, and drinking my iced white mocha. I remember, regardless of what was going on around me, I was happy. It was this feeling of bliss...stress-free bliss.

It was insignificant, unimportant, but that feeling, it stays with you.
