A Chance of Change

It's uncanny how much a sudden rainfall improved my mood this afternoon. I was just sitting in the kitchen, staring out the window while attempting to enjoy some LeanCuisine (blegh) when out of the blue (er, grey, rather) it started to downpour. And it wasn't one of those flimsy, gusty rains. Just nice, vertical streams of water falling from the sky. The rhythm on the window is really soothing, as is the scent. Great, now I sound like I'm selling the "Mystical Earth" CD and incense collection that I saw in Sedona.

It's odd, adjusting to the changes taking place in my life. The beginning of this year is going to be like a new chapter, which is weird; you'd think that'd start after I left for college. Too many things have flip-flopped, adapted, or disappeared completely. It's like the plot completely changed in one fell swoop. A best friend became a complete enemy, a once-predicted enemy is becoming a good friend. This is the part of the battle in which you realize they put you in charge, and with good reason. I've quietly put up with some things for too long, and now it's time to confront them. I can do this.

I think.
