I want to leave a mark on people’s lives around me in a way that there is a powerful feeling left behind my existence. I want to be the person who lights up a room when they walk in. Someone that radiates positivity and liveliness as often as possible.
This is important to me because I find myself coming to the end of a large part of my life and reflecting on the people I surround myself with. I often struggled to find people like this at Bucknell because I have really incredible friends and family at home that act as these people in my life. I have been reflecting on the importance of making people feel loved, impacting others’ days, being someone that reflects positivity rather than someone that is draining and negative, and to be an overall memorable person that gives without expecting the same energy.
I also find myself relating this feeling to the feeling after watching a powerful movie or seeing an amazing concert. That certain emotion that resonates throughout a person’s entire being, not just their mind. This also reminds me of the “5 pm sun hug” where the sun is the perfect warmth on your skin that it wraps around you like a warm hug.
I think I would like to include symbolism about light and or the sun because a person who is warm and radiates energy in a certain way can sometimes feel like a 5pm sun hug. The sun often improves people’s moods, much like a positive person can. I also want to include something about being present in the moment in order feel certain emotions that are almost out of body and feel like the finer things in life. I also would like to touch on the impermanence of life but permanent memory of these types of feelings and emotions elicited by people who radiate this energy or from amazing experiences.
