I think everything's going to be alright
I ran out of eggs for breakfast, so I stepped out of my apartment, only to be met by the ethereal morning wind. We've endured the heat of the past two weeks, so I'm sure we've all appreciated today. As soon as I entered the store, FleetWood Mac's "Landslide" started playing, and I just smiled. I'm not the most optimistic person; to be truthful, I kinda expect the worst. But something about the beauty around me and the song hit me. I walked out of the store, the song faintly playing in the distance as I headed home. Reflecting on last week's heat, we all endured it; some of us are freshmen, foreign, transfers, etc. Those past weeks of adapting to this new environment were unnerving, met with uncertainty and fear. I know some of us are still enduring and finding our path to the trail, including me. But today, here we are, standing proud into week #3, embraced by the crisp fall weather. Embraced by Mother Nature's change, embraced by this new environment. Tougher days are ahead, days that might challenge or completely crush you. But I think everything's going to be alright. Because in the end, you'll be changed for the better. You'll be embraced again by the calmness of peace after those difficult days. You'll be changed. I made it home and made my lil omelet, but I think everything's going to be alright.
