it's 8:02 a.m., and the sky is the color of bubblegum ice cream. lately i've been waking up reluctantly, peering through the crack of my blinds only to be faced with a gloomy, gray sky. it makes me want to stay in bed all day long.

but today the happy, blue is staring right at me, like a brand new canvas ready to be splattered with paint. it was so inviting, i almost leapt out of bed.
