Here comes the sun...
Today is the first really beautiful, hot, sunny day in a while. So instead of doing some work for class, I decided to sit out on a bench in the sun by the art building.
Last night I had a glass of wine before bed, and I thought that really relaxed me and I didn't think there was anything that could possibly make things better. But sitting in this sun, being covered by a blanket of warmth, this is really where I found my peace.
I wrote a few pages of that memoir I mentioned a few weeks ago. It was the same old song and dance: I got busy with school, consumed with life, and couldn't be bothered to write more of it. It's probably for the best. Why consume yourself in the past when I've got such a bright and awesome future to look forward to. Besides, the present isn't looking so grim either.
Needless to say, after sitting outside for the last 20 minutes, alone, in silence, in meditation, I'm finally feeling comfortable enough with myself to just move on. Take the past for what it was and don't let it haunt my future. I'm just going to bask in the present, and in the same way I find peace basking in the sun, I think I will eventually find my peace.
While I was sitting, I saw this brigade of skateboarders ride by. Three of them, like they were in some skating club. Odd. But it made me smile. Little silly things like that always do.
I should probably get some sort of congratulations. This is my first happy post in a very long time. Props to me. Bless you for making it all the way to the end of it.
...And I say ... It's all right...
