What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction
This is what I see when I look out my window in my backyard. The Hudson River is my backyard, and it has been for 13 years now. I moved into this house when I was 5 years old. It was just me, my brother, and my mom. It was just after my parents divorced. I lost my first tooth in this house. Learned how to ride a bike. Cried over my first crush. Played tons of backyard baseball games with the neighborhood kids. Had so many sleepovers with my friends in my basement. Fuck, I even lost my virginity in this house. But we won’t tell my mother that.
Anyways I’m moving tomorrow. They’re building a brand new bridge 90 ft. closer to my house, and the value of it is going to go down. Plus there’s 5 children in my family, therefore my parents wants something bigger. And I thought I was going to take this smoothly, but I’m actually really upset. I’m already making a big move to college when I leave in a month, and when I come home, well… It just won’t be home. I wanted my children to see this house. Tonight will be my last night in this place and I’m walking around, looking at all the empty rooms. This house, the neighborhood, and the view of the river saved my family and I. It brought us back together, and I feel so blessed and thankful to have lived here for as long as I did.
Bye old house.
You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they’re dull as a brick? Then there’s other people, when you meet them you think “Not bad. They’re okay.” And then you get to know them and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality is written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful.
