Happy Moments In My Day

Dinner time is the happiest moment in my day. Instead of sitting in front of the TV, having big meal, I have dinner with my classmate, Lily, almost every day.
Hungry and exhausted, we like to walk away the fence and control of school and casually drop into the restaurant nearby. In this fourty minutes, we will strike on a conversation and start to pour out our ideas, feelings and experiences.
As the saying goes, a good friend is like a good book. In term of this, I won’t doubt how Benjamin Franklin went with black bread and books for lunch every day. As long as we stay together, what we eat is not important anymore. Sometimes, we talk about politics. Current events, characters of a successful leader, the tendency of education in Taiwan and environmental protection, though these topics always make us worried and confused about our future, it’s still good to have a friend who hold the same attitude with me. Sometimes, we talk about music and literature. Listening to the songs of Eason Cheng, we contemplate on the meaning of the lyrics and reflect them on ourselves. Discussing the novel of Bronte sister, we are always surprised at how powerful, beautiful and touching language can be. Reciting out the sentences of Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights, we seem to see how Charlotte and Emily wandered on the moor in Yorkshire, chasing for their own liberty. We can keep talking without stopping, weaving our memories and past when we didn’t have each other together, adding the whole universe and the rainbow to it, extending this precious moment and our horizons.
I remember how Van Gogh lost his sanity when Gaugain left him, and how Orlando, the character created by Virginia Woolf, lived and searched for three hundred years, just to seek a companion in life. Thinking of their sorrows, I always couldn’t help but feel appreciative of my acquaintance with Lily. Starvation won’t change the courses we’re pursuing, and strain won’t stop us from striding forward. Our spirits desire to be nurtured with some food for thoughts. When I look at her face as she tries to search for the precise words in her vocabulary to express herself, I feel that the seeds of hope and love in my heart being awakened; when she talks to me, this is the most enjoyable moment in my day.
