Cherry Blossom
Cherry BlossomMonday, early April. Tip tap tip tap. I sluggishly roll out of bed in my small studio apartment and look out one of the few windows that remind me these walls are not a prison. It’s grey and raining. Gross. This is why I never liked April. It’s always rainy and cold, especially here in Vancouver. It’s harder to get out of bed on rainy days, and today I’m already running late and need to get ready for work.
