I've realized a relationship can be a lot like running through a sprinkler. During, it's so fun and exciting. A nice and refreshing experience. But then when you have to get out, for whatever reason- your mom's calling you, you're too cold, your friends want to go somewhere else- when you get out it's really cold. Really cold and wet. You stay uncomfortable and agitated for a while, waiting for your clothes to dry. Then time passes and... you're dry. At that point... well, I don't know how it feels. I'm not there yet. I assume you're okay again. Or maybe that's not how it works. I don't know. I've also realized it's not so bad not knowing what the next stage feels like. It's okay being frustrated and mildly damp right now. Time and money take care of most things. I haven't got the latter, so I guess the prior will do.
I thought of this when I ran through a sprinkler this morning. I'm mostly dry now.
