twenty three

i love those times when you're just going about everyday life and suddenly a sensory memory jolts you back to a time in the past. all week i was walking to class and would suddenly think of brighton. i couldn't figure out why and just attributed it to the sunshine, but then concluded that i felt all nostalgic every time i passed by this corner of campus that was landscaped with pine trees and fresh bark chips on the ground. its now my favorite place to walk through. retarded, i know! oh well. i hope i never forget the mingled scent of pine, bark, and crisp clean air mixed with the occasional thunder storm. it gives me goosebumps, but the good kind. and i love that feeling!
