it’s been nothing but rain and overcast skies and foggy streetlights for a solid week here in Charlotte, NC. on a good day, that’s a mood. on a bad day, it’s seasonal affective disorder.
my new go-to gripe while journaling or making zoom small talk with prospective cat adopters for my day job is how SICK i’m getting of my stupid daily walks around the neighborhood.
(i still do them. if there’s a writing metaphor here, i refuse to acknowledge it.)
today, the clouds broke. sunshine and a cold breeze. i walked my well-worn routes as if for the first time. staring up at treetops and shit. how embarrassing.
