Today I went to go to confession. Except that I had went on the wrong date. There's a silver lining in everything, and that manifested in Eucharistic Adoration being hosted right next to us. I spent time in there, for the first time, and it went as everyone would expect it to go: really peaceful. I admire the architecture in that room. The colored windows were placed high above where the afternoon sunshine poured in, almost like God himself was staring at me. It was really quiet, as it should, and it was a nice way to get myself to bask in his presence.
After that, my dad took me to drive and walk around the marinas around our area. I always have fun traversing docks, especially if they connect to each other and lead me to different places. He's not too fond of my wandering and friendliness. I'm a girl, so my curiosity has to be restrained for now. At least not mentally. I'm going to keep that intact forever.
The stagnant waters were breeding places for these really tall grasses, twin winged dragon flies(at least it's what I like to call them) and moss that seem to surround the area. There were two girls who sat at the dock, I could see their skin getting roasted under the sun. Like literally sunburnt. I guess I can't blame them, watching the waters should count as an actual hobby(Well, waves aren't that monotonous, are they?).
The best part was when we went to this place far away from the public. I don't know what to call it, but a lot of people were fishing on this dock. We were under this bridge, too. I liked having to look under the bridge and stare at the diamond shaped holes of the fences to see what was beyond. There was nothing to see except golden fields stretched out and a few wild flowers; but even that's beautiful to me. Additionally, nearing the dock, there were these stairs leading to the water... I think? It was probably a place where you would view the waves crashing onto the rocks below you. The wind wasn't so bad either, it was pleasantly gentle and playful. Some moss covered branches laid in the front, I imagined walking on top of them because they led to this abandoned house on a few levis. (My fascination with abandoned places is not ideal. Let's stick to being an observer of urbex explorers- I'm not gonna risk getting tetanus or any disease related to mold.)
I watched people catch fish. There were a lot of teenagers doing so. How nice must it be, to fish? It's something I've wanted to do for a while. There's many things I've wanted to do; and I'm quite ashamed for pestering my father about it. I'm like a child in a candy store who keeps tugging on my mothers' sleeve. Annoying, isn't it? I guess that's why time exists, storing larger ages for me to have more opportunities later on. (That's why I have to make safer choices. I'm not going to die... or maybe this world will before I get to live-whatever, I'll make it through, anyway.)
I consider fishing one day when my father retires. Maybe I'd open a little shop where I'd sell the fish I caught. It's a fun hobby. My father smiled and pinched my cheek when I told him so. "That's cute." He lightly teased.
We went back home with our stomachs (shamefully) full with Taco Bell. Look, I was hungry, I starved myself a little to see the water. It was the nearest food chain near us. I haven't had it in a while! Don't you dare scold me! Well, we were also partially full with our satisfaction for how our day went. Most of my days are spent doing.. not a lot of things, really. I'm trying though. I have vacation in a few days where my friend will be joining. At least I'm socializing... for once...
I'm going to do better things this month.

Daily Thought Diary
(Isn't there so much to see in this world? I like being where I'm not supposed to be-- but I'm cautious. There are restrictions for a reason, so I'd need to know that. To talk deeply about it, curiosity is one of the main drivers for our will to live. If we knew everything; that would be boring. Where's the thrill of mystery? What's really the point if we knew all that needed to be taught? There's no limit to learning, so completely mastering things are out of our reach. We're never really settled in life, we're going to ask why and how; and that's what makes it so much exciting to me. If anything, I want to remain both clueless and knowledgeable. Diversities and vastness, it's all so mesmerizing...keep an active mind, and maybe I'll have an active body.)
