springtime

Today spring finally arrived. This morning as I sleepily peeked out my bedroom window to gauge the weather, my eyes were bombarded with sunlight. I left my sweatshirts on the floor with a smile and headed out for the day.

It seems like yesterday that spring was just here. Maybe I over analyze metaphors, but it seems that this time of year always marks change and growth. As the sun starts to warm the frozen earth, the world springs to life.

Recently I've felt myself thawing out. In many ways I've been unaware of the frozen nature of my own existence. But the sudden burst of warmth has revived me, bringing a new vibrancy and vitality to everything I do.

Despite the changes, as I look around I still feel sometimes that I'm living in an ice age. Many people around me don't understand the changes within me, and certainly don't desire to join me. But I suppose that's alright, and I wouldn't change anything about what's been happening.
