there's something i have forgot about living here in the city... the cold weather. just this week made me realize how miserable philadelphia can be. i think there is a vast group of people who can agree that philly gets the worst of all weathers. when it is hot, boy it is hot. and the same goes for when it is cold. we have been so accustomed to this beautiful weather in the city. as late september approached, the sun still was shining and all were believing "it is going to be a beautiful autumn."
and then came last week. absolutely disgusting. i was under the impression that my city was going to undergo a nice transition into the fall months. sunsets that don't seem real, leaves falling gracefully to the ground in brilliant shades of brown and orange. and then like i said, last week happened. rain. cold. allergies. storm. wet. windy. sad. all words that come to mind when i think of the past few days. even today dawned upon us a ray of sunlight... and as i type this i can see that the horrible rain clouds have inevitably surfaced again. bringing once again, the heartbreaking weather.
it makes me remember that philly can be so beautiful, but also so damn ugly. it can be disgustingly hot. undeniably freezing and snowy. and exhaustingly rainy. you can even tell the weather based on everyone's mood. i don't even have to go outside to realize i will need a heavy coat, rainboots, and umbrella. all i have to do is take one stare into my roommates' faces, and know that the outside is not somewhere desirable to be at that moment.
as stated in my last post, you have to take the good with the bad. i was fortunate enough to experience a few days into the transition of autumn. and if i am lucky, these days will reappear shortly. but as for now... this weather sucks.
