the rainy day today reminds me of elementary school. early elementary school where the teacher would read us books about butterflies or trolls guarding a bridge. this rainy day reminds me of my mother picking me up from school, resting my head against the window and feel the rain patter on it. days where i'd have no homework and the best thing to eat on rainy days like these is stew. the kind where there's carrots and chicken in it. beautiful.
