As I watch through the comfort of the screen, I do the math, and realize that for the past few years I’ve avoided the effects of all major storms. The snow, rain, wind, and tears that come with blizzards, hurricanes, cyclones, and heartbreaks.

To stay warm and dry, I’ve moved around, never too close, never for too long.

Today, I saw my reflection on the screen and a pale color on my skin…is it maybe that sunshine, real sunshine only comes after you’ve felt the storm?
