Hurricane week!

hey guys! this week was a weird mix of absolute bunz and actually kinda bearable. the rain started on tuesday as a nice sprinkle of rain mixed with calm winds and it was super nice, but obviously that was just the calm before the storm. it started really picking up on wednesday and lasted that whole day and night. 

wednesday

my routine is kinda messed up so i normally start cooking and eating food around 10pm right, im a night owl and hate eating when people are awake and downstairs. at some point i was in the kitchen about to make a quesadilla. i have all my ingredients out, one of the quesadillas is fully buttered and full of cheese, the stove is warm and ready, and as i put the tortilla on the pan boom

no power

which was rude as hell cause that was my BREAKFAST and milton ripped it away from me. at that point i was pretty pissed but i was on the phone with my boyfriend so it couldnt have been that bad. i ended up spending the rest of the night drawing on my ipad to make time pass. 

thursday

in the morning after the rain had stopped, i brought my dog outside and saw that the storm had ripped a whole fence panel down, the fence gate was on the ground, and the shingles on our shed were all over the yard. 

that night after the storm was genuinely so incredibly peaceful it didnt even feel real. with all the house and street lights off the stars were the brightest ive seen them in a while and it was beautiful. ive always been in love with the stars and space in general with all of its unknown beauty hidden millions of light years away. it makes me wonder if all the stars we see are even still around anymore, most of them are probably already dead and gone. theres just so much we dont know simply because we have no way to see the stars in their present form, only how they were millions or billions of years ago. time is such an odd illusion

friday

bestie ended up coming over to hangout the next day cause we were both super bored with no power and 

literally no other reason i j missed bestie

we ended up going on a walk behind the neighborhood and smoked a phat blunty which was genuine bliss. i have never felt peace like that lul

down the road we walked theres this really big tree that ive been obsessed with for two years, basically since i moved here, and the storm kinda fcked her up. a ton of her branches had fallen and you could tell she wasnt ready to let them go. maybe its the crazy witch lady in me but she just felt different, like she knew she had lost a part of herself in the storm. even then shes a very strong soul, i know she will be okay

once we started turning back to go home and after we passed the tree again i saw something orange in the corner of my eye and stopped.

maybe i seem dramatic to you but when i saw what it was it LITERALLY stopped me in my tracks and shocked me into a state of awe. i hadnt seen a butterfly in multiple years and now sitting in front of me on a blade of grass was the most beautiful monarch butterfly ive ever seen. and it just stayed there

after snapping myself out of it i realised i NEEEEDED a picture so i pulled out my phone and as soon as i snapped the pic it started flying around us, landing on differents flowers and blades of grass as we started to notice all the bees buzzing around collecting pollen. there were so many bees

i really do think that the storm was meant for them, the bees, and butterflys, and the flowers. this has always been their planet, their home. were just an evil species who took everything from them
