I've had something on my mind lately. I've been trying to shrug it off and think nothing of it but I haven't been super successful. It hasn't really interfered with work... I'm still getting stuff done, but it's hurting me. I keep at my work so I dont have to think about it. I guess it's just bothering me more today.
Yesterday I was on cloud nine (another post potentially later to explain), today that cloud disappeared. I feel lost and confused...but this time it's not school related. I'm good with school, I'm doing well. Today is probably just an off day.
When I was heading home tonight from school I was eager to get home to eat and then head out again for a walk. Whenever somethings on my mind - especially in the Winter, I like to walk. To me there is no better type of walk then walking while it's snowing, there's just something about it...it's calming.
I headed out and just walked...my intention was a quick 15mins walk but it turned into 45...I just kept walking...kept thinking about anything and everything, happy thoughts and sad thoughts; thoughts about the distant future, thoughts about tomorrow. I just kept thinking.
Near the end of my walk something caught my eye, distracted me from my thoughts (even being cold didn't distract me). There was this tree, it was bare like the rest of the trees but as I got closer I notice, it wasn't bare afterall. Near the bottom of the tree just hanging off one of the branches was this clump of leaves, huddled together. It looks like the leaves were hanging on as long as they could. They have held on longer than the rest of the leaves on the tree and as I walked by I thought they could just let go but was impressed that they were still holding on. I stopped and took a longer look at them, hanging on for dear life...shivering...and I felt for them. Afterall, we all have moments when we feel like we're holding on for dear life...
here's to tomorrow...a new day.
