Life is full of unexpected surprises.
There are many opportunities
when one can secretly wish for
something exciting to happen –
something out of the ordinary. The
real surprise is when the wish
unexpectedly comes true. I never
believed that something like this
could ever happen to me; such a
thing that would make me stop and
look back at the events in awe. I
think you would agree that
something as simple as being lost
in the forest for less than ten
minutes should have no influence
on my life. If you do agree, that
makes both of us wrong.
Throughout my childhood, I loved
the wild. My family and I would
always go for a walk in the
downtown forest of Coote’s
Paradise. There were many times I
thought of what could happen if we
were to lose our way from the trail
and have to live off of the land
until we found our way back to
civilization. I thought it would be
the greatest experience ever.
As my brothers and I grew older,
we continued to go for these walks
with our parents but the dreams of
living in the forest I soon forgot.
That’s when it happened. We
decided to take a different path off
the main trail. Before I knew it, the
path had disappeared and no one
in my family could tell where we
had come from.
It was so
unexpected. It gave me a feeling of
excitement that can’t be described.
Everything in the forest seemed
different. The trees were a deeper
shade of green. The birds chirped
in a different tone. Vines covered
almost every inch of the ground.
One part of me never wanted this
moment to end. I felt completely
free from the stress of my life
outside of the woods. It was this
moment that I realized that I would
much rather stay here for the rest
of my life than go back to society.
I think that another reason that I
felt carefree was because my
parents didn’t panic. They took the
situation under control and headed
for any open area in hopes to find
a map (many of these maps were
found throughout the grounds,
telling you where you were). From
my point of view, at the time, it
seemed as if they were excited as I
was about losing our way. In the
end, it only took my parents ten
minutes to find such a map and we
were back on the trail in no time.
An experience like this made me
think about my place in life. I’m
the type who loves seeking out
adventures. When we were lost, I
realized that I had everything I
would ever need with me – my
family. They’ve always supported
me in everything I do.
This
experience made me realize that
families need to stick together; you
don’t realize how much you need
them until, for a moment, you
think they’ll be the last people you
see for the rest of your life.
It’s incredible how much a simple
thing like being lost in a forest for
ten minutes will affect your
outlook on life.
Things like not
being able to find your way back to
where you came from make you
appreciate the little things in life.
Looking back on the day, I realize
now that it was fate. Moments like
that are few and far between and
should be taken as a lesson.
Surprises like this were, and
always will be, an unexpected gift
for all.
