The Inevitable

It was here. I had just opened the front door, still in my PJs, when I knew it was already starting. I shouldn't have been as surprised as I was. I always knew that the inevitable would occur and yet I naively thought I had more time. More time to prepare. But alas, the chill seeping in my bones told me, it's too late.

Back inside the comfort of my warm house I couldn't help but wish I had done the things I wanted to do when I could. Now it was too late and I had missed my chance. The evening strolls I could have enjoyed, the ice creams I could have eaten, the dresses I could have worn. But now, with it watching over me constantly and creeping in closer and closer gradually, how could I? I was soon to be confined. In clothes as heavy as my heart, and a house as desolate as I was feeling with the knowledge that it was time. Sigh. 

If there's something to learn here it's that, don't waste your time. Do what you can when you can. You never know what may throw a wrench in your plans and spoil your post procrastination plans—

"With how dramatic you are, one would think you were in the middle of a horror story" – said my best friend as she settled in on the couch next to me.

I could not believe her, glaring at her, I said, " Winters is starting! How am I being dramatic?! Summer is dying. It'll be soon too cold to leave the comfort of my house to even step outside. Think about it - no more evening walks, well unless you wanna dress up like a snowball and still manage to freeze. I can't believe you, how can you be so relaxed?!"

Amused, she said, "Pray tell my dear, in this 'oh so lovely' summer of yours, how often did you step outta your house, hmm?"

Uh-oh. I can assure you, my face is definitely not red and I for sure don't want to dig a pit and hide in it.

"Ah, which movie was it that you wanted to watch again? Pizza is getting cold eh.."
