7/ Natalie alone on a baseball field, trying to locate a friend in the distance. 8/ Stuff displayed on a wall for sale in the store of unusual and bizarre, yet interesting things.

Past, Chicago, Future

I never realized how important the sun was to me, until I lived in a place where it was constantly bullied over by a big grey blanket of clouds. Yet another thing that I've taken for granted. I've got to be more appreciative these days. I'm so tired of looking back and feeling that pinch in my heart, where I remember when I had it good. "The good ol' days" I say, but what's to say that these aren't? Will I always continue the cycle of living for the future, while wasting the present on missing past memories? While I do know that thinking about that little thought could keep me wrapped up in a hypothetical-life-phenomenon-brain-freeze, I do know that I would like more sun. A lot more in fact.
