Hope

Some days seem like the only purpose of the day is so we can sleep at night. Today has been one of those days. All alone in my apartment, too cold to go outside, and I’m feeling a little stir crazy. I know I’m not the only one this happens to, I mean, who wants to go outside when the temperature is below zero? Snow, as beautiful as it can look, is my own prison. I let it isolate me, I don’t go out for days at a time, all because of that pretty snow that falls all around me. When I am isolated I feel trapped, stuck, stagnant; and my life is spent eating, watching movies, sleeping, taking my dog out, and sleeping more. I hope that this time in my life will lead me to better places and make me a better person. I hope. I hope that tomorrow will be different than today; that my worries will ease with a good night’s sleep. So I’ll shut my eyes tonight and fall asleep, and before I even realize it today will be yesterday.
