This weather is insane. It's like a hurricane. The rain is rad, but no one likes wind. The neighborhood lawn furniture is
playing musical chairs between yards. Wind chimes and barking dogs are the music.
I think the weather has been affecting my mood. The rain started Saturday, and all weekend and today I've
been more gloomy than usual. Gloomy, but chill. Too chill? Two people asked if I was high today. I wasn't.
Back to the point, I wasn't feeling my best today. Thank goodness I got a hug a lunch, I was seriously
contemplating ditching then next class. It was a
lovely hug. One of those where you get too lost in the clean soapy
smell of their soft, soft cotton
hoodie again your cheek. Lost in
the fact
that you're safe for a few long seconds, that
there's peace in
the world, and your tummy is full. A willful prison. I think through all the hugs I've gotten and given for hours. Analyzing every sense I could pick up. Every thought that flew past. I know, that for others, it's simply a 2 step thing. Wrap. Unwrap. Ciao.
Would it have been weird if I
didn't let go? I certainly didn't want to. Would it have been strange, out of the
ordinary to just stand, embraced, letting everyone else file through the hallway? I would have been safe, sound. And perfect.
Perfect.
I shouldn't have let go.
