2.what I see, feel, think and want while sitting on my bench

Right after I found my perfect bench, I sat on it in order to find out my feelings acquired through the bench. The view was absolutely stunning as sunshine was reflected from the water’s surface and the sea looked quite calm. The bench was in the middle of two other benches, overlooking the ocean in a corner which was not in people’s way. Once I sat my bench, I suddenly started to feel calmer as if the world has stopped for a second and I was not up to anything; maybe I felt this way because there were not a lot of people walking by as the bench was in a cozy corner and maybe because it was quite far away from the playground. Moreover, I started to feel more relaxed and all my concerns seemed to have vanished during the minute which I remained seated on the bench. While sitting on the bench, I began thinking about my future; I stared at the water that kept on moving and the fact that it never stopped and that it always moved forward; by doing so, I realized that life is quite similar to the water in a sense that it always moves forward; therefore, I began to think that there is no point in lingering in the past and regretting about our mistakes. Having realized this, I felt even more relaxed and I stopped wondering about my future. Sitting on the bench, all of a sudden I wanted to be able to make time stop going so fast; I realized how fast time goes by and I decided to live my life the fullest from then on.
