the_best_moment_of_my_life peyton It was my birthday.. I was sixteen. The sun was brighter than it had ever been. I had no worries that amounted to much.. I hadn't seen the dark times yet.. Something in me still felt pure.. and innocent.. Nicholas and I were going over to Jenna's house.. I was going to meet Nikki there.. Jenna's mother was gone for the weekend.. It would be just us four.. I walked in to Jenna's small home.. I felt the fragrance of cake baking.. I heard the clinking of dishes together.. She stood there, in a black shirt that revealed only a small part of her hips.. her black hair played elegantly upon her shoulders.. she was washing up some dishes, and humming softly to herself. I remember golden pillars of sunlight coming through the windows and illuminating all around her.. her hair seemed to shine like diamonds.. There were balloons.. and she'd even baked a cake. My best friends were there, and Nikki too. She hugged me and told me that I was loved.. She kissed my cheek, and told me that everything was perfect now that I was there.. I'd never made anything in the world worthwhile to anyone before.. and now.. I'd created perfection.. We ate cake and drank sparkling cider.. they all sang for me.. Nikki put her arms around me and told me that she hoped that everything was special enough to be worthy of me.. that she wanted everything to be right today.. We walked hand in hand to the back bedrooms.. and I lost my virginity there. We spent all night holding each other, and when I woke up she was in my arms.. and the sun was peeking over the hills and shining onto her hair.. making it sparkle again.. And it never was sweeter than that moment.. And even when the dark times came after that.. and when Nikki cheated on me, and we started to hate that which we used to adore.. even when Nikki's life ended due to my own careless actions.. I could look back to that moment and see the sparkling sunlights and smell the cake baking in the oven.. And I knew that life would never touch me so softly as it did there.. Perhaps one day.. when my penance is paid.. I could see such days again.. Hours that we given to me freely then, are seconds that I would bleed forever to buy back.. But you can never go back.. 020621 ... 0of46 I am in college, so i am hoping that the best moment of my life has yet to come. I would like to think that the best moment of my life will be some special moment with the children i have yet to create........ Peyton, that was one of the most beautiful stories I have ever had the pleasure or reading. 020726 ... jinx I agree with 0of46. I'll be a senior in high school this fall, and I have yet to see the best of my life-at least I hope so. This fall I'll be auditioning to get into acting programs at a couple schools. I'll go a college if I don't get in. But, if by some crazy luck I do get in, I'll be ecstatic. That experience would be up there, but I think that the best moment in my life will not be a moment, but every moment after I have a family of my own... I'm such a girl. 020726 ... silentbob there isn't just one. 020726 ... Freak still waiting 020726 ... silentbob she shoplifts some christmas gifts and a bracelet for herself and considers phoning home has some quarters in her hand but she sits down on the sidewalk and bites her bottom lip and spends the afternooon willing traffic lights to change 030127 ... jinx I never did audition to get into any acting programs. Instead, I chose to pursue a BFA. I went through my first year, and I've just started my second. The program I'm in has just been named the 4th best undergrad theatre program in the nation by the Princeton Review. Hurrah. The best moments so far have not come from performing on the stage, though. The best moments have come from being with a man who started as a friend of mine and became more. Any moment I'm with him is one of the best of my life. 040905 ... peyton i am colorblind coffee black and egg white pull me out from inside i am ready i am ready i am ready i am taffy stark and tongue tied stutter shook and uptight pull me out from inside i am ready i am ready i am ready i am fine i am covered in skin no one gets to come in pull me out from inside i am folded and unfolded and unfolding i am colorblind coffee black and egg white pull me out from inside i am ready i am ready i am ready i am fine i am fine i am fine 050818 ... unhinged when my sister opens the front door and she comes running from the back of the house, the way her face lights up to see me and she runs right at me so i can scoop her up and we can cuddle each other. if i had to pick just one, those would be the best moment (s) of my life. the way her big blue eyes twinkle when she sees auntie nicole. 050819 ... thorn i know it was blathed years ago, but i just wanted to say, peyton, that first blathe was incredibly beautiful. and i hope the best moment of my life hasn't happened yet. i don't think there can ever be one specific best moment. but i don't know. 050819 what's it to you? who go blather from
