101 Words: Totally Beautiful

I pulled my shades up for the first time in months to witness the torrential apocalyptic rain. From work I watched the rain ricochet off the pavement like diamonds and wished I could be in it. The sky went dark around 2, hauntingly dark, eerily dark, and it was so scary but it felt so good, safe. I ended up getting caught in the rain on my way home.

Last night I witnessed something totally beautiful. Two months ago someone called me totally beautiful – that was the first and last time anyone had used those two words together to describe me.
