𑣲┆lunch ˚.⋆ֹ
08/20/26 — ☆
today at lunch, i noticed two boys passing a football back and forth. now, this isn’t exactly something outlandish or crazy. they must like sports. if passing a ball around counts as that. what really interested me was how much they seemed to enjoy it. it was 100° outside, they were wearing dark clothes and jeans, and yet they were just… smiling. throwing the ball. catching it. throwing it again.
is throwing a football back and forth really that exciting?
apparently.
i don’t think they stopped once. not even to eat their lunch. i just sat there watching the football as it swerved through the air, wondering if they could hear the little whoosh as it passed by.
i had always assumed people only did things like this when they were bored out of their minds. something to do because there was nothing else to do. but maybe that’s not true. maybe sometimes you can just… play catch. i don’t know. there was something almost mesmerizing about it. two people doing something incredibly simple and seeming completely happy about it.
i think i’m a little envious.
maybe i should call my friends.
maybe we should play some catch.
