Five Minute Friday: Long
This is my first attempt at 5 Minute Friday:
Long means something different to each person. When we are young:
-long is waiting until our parents are done talking
-long is driving a few miles (Will we ever get there?)
-long is waiting for supper when you’re hungry, especially when Mom tells you no snacks are allowed!
-long is waiting until you’re old enough to go to school
-long is waiting for Christmas to arrive
As we grow older, the definition changes:
-long is waiting several years for something
-long is having to run any distance more than across the yard
-long is a feeling you have when you think of wanting to spend time with people who are no longer alive.
(I have to admit that I broke a couple of the rules – I found myself overthinking, and I did backspace a couple times. I’m looking forward to continuing with this challenge. Maybe next time I’ll follow the rules better!)
5 Minute Friday is a weekly challenge for bloggers to write for (you guessed it) 5 minutes on a given word. No editing. No deleting (it’s HARD!). If you would like to join me and other amazing 5 minute freewriting friends, please visit Kate’s blog and linkup!
