A collection of thoughts

the storm.

There are only a few things in life that make me truly sad. I wasn't sad the day that I found out my parents were getting divorced, or the fact the person that I love didn't love me. But the idea of losing my best friend over something that was out of my control. The things in life that make me truly sad is the scent of the pine after the storm. The fresh scent of rain washed wood. The sound of the birds chirping and the green leaves rustling in the wind. it's the thought that in my memories I can remember all of the happy times, but with one familiar scent I'm slowly reminded of the sad. How I look at myself and remember that over two years ago I was looking at a different mirror. The thought of dying does not scare me, but the thought of living a life without success. I get scared at not completing the goals I have set nor the goals that I didn't plan for. The only thing I wish to have back is the view off my porch in my childhood home, looking out onto our green field and being at peace with the storm that had just passed.
