The weather
Snow is gently falling outside my window. I don't think it is sticking now, but earlier tonight about 1.5 inches fell. Everything is coated with just enough snow to be really beautiful, but not so much snow that it is annoying to het around. A little after 1 AM, I drove over to my apartment management company, because I realized that I had forgotten to pay my rent check over the weekend. As I pulled up to the top of the hill where the street I live on intersects with a larger road, I looked at the falling snow and noticed how it was beginning to coat the several-story-tall evergreen trees that were in the yard in front of me, and I almost cried because the scene was so beautiful. Sometimes I feel like I really did miss out on something by growing up in Florida without seasons. I think I am making up for it now though...and from my perspective, I can appreciate it a lot more than someone who has had seasons all her life. I just made a short playlist to commemorate the snowiness. I have always felt that the song on this post perfectly represents what winter sounds like.
I had a pretty emotional day both positive and negative. I'm not going to talk about it here beyond to say that life is complicated...more complicated than I want it to be sometimes...and that mostly I like being grown up. But, sometimes, I wish that I were younger and had less life experience, because I used to be braver about certain interpersonal things than I am now. The Weather by Built to Spill is also a great song about weather...and other things.
