surprise, happiness exists.

I didn't think I'd enjoy the sun ever again. The blindingness, oh the hurt. But as I wandered around the school today, I found myself in the sun. And it was pleasant. More than pleasant, it was blissful. Not long after I ventured into the sun, I laid myself down on a bench. The warmth soaked into me. I quickly fell into a sleep-like state.


I forgot about the fact that I was wearing fur-lined shoes and multiple layers to keep warm, I forgot about the snow and ice, I forgot about the fact that the temperature probably had a negative sign in front of it, I forgot that windchill was a part of my daily vocabulary.


I was just was warm and content. More than I would've ever asked for on a Minnesotan January day. So, thank you, sun. I underestimated your healing power. The florescent lights will always be incomparable to you.
