Storms

Tonight I met somebody who I've always felt very close to. We haven't been in touch lately, meaning we've sent each other some text messages or an e-mail or two and we've met sporadically in the past two years. She lives 25 minutes from where I live. We grew up together, we went to middle school, then high school and later we moved to the same city but somewhere in the process we lost contact. Tonight she was more beautiful than I remembered. We went for a beer in a cosy place she works in and caught up on everything we've been through in the past... years actually. I think she has a chip on her shoulder, though. She's in that phase of her life where it's not easy to spot what direction she is gonna take, where all this is gonna lead. And sometimes it happens that you feel sort of lost, with way too many ideas and very few real things in your hands. This might bring you down, right?
This girlfriend of mine is not as weak as she thinks she is. I'm sure she'll find her way out of this deadlock. She's got an enormous support from a guy she's spent one third of her existence with. Think of your age, divide by three and... frown! I just hope this rock she's been holding tightly with both hands for such a long time won't just crumble. I just don't wanna think about it.

I was on my way home, on a tram, when I felt the sudden urge to write. Damn it! I wish I had a laptop with me and just write everything my mind was producing at that very moment. It was all flowing out so smoothly and nicely. Uff...

While we were sitting in the pub, it started hailing really hard. And then it rained. You could've smelled it in the air that it was going to. The sky was very dark and it thundered. I love storms, especially electric ones, like I like to call them. Lightening everywhere, fresh air, rain. It just feels so pure, purifying and liberating. The storm has made the air a little bit chilly. Hope I can get some better sleep tonight.
