"Cotton Candy Sky. Sweet Dreams." — Unknown

Michaela Marvels at the Cotton Candy Sky🩷

I was on my walk and I stopped at Tim Hortons to grab an Orange Pekoe tea and journal. I had been there for a while when I decided that I should go home because it was starting to get dark and it was cold outside. I grabbed my bag and my tea and then I looked through the window and saw that the sky had pink in it. The pink just caught my attention because it was this soft hue. Kind of like a pink raspberry blush. I was like omg I need to take a picture of the sky. When I usually take pictures of the sky the only colors I've been able to capture so far were just blue or maybe even bits of white from the heavy clouds. But this time it was pink. I knew I had to get outside fast to capture it. I quickly re-downloaded Instagram again because I usually capture things with my story camera. I got outside and BAM📸I snapped this picture of the sky. I caught it. The pinks, the blues, I caught all of it. When I looked up to take a moment to appreciate the view, I realized that it reminded me of something, cotton candy. It was captivating and sweet like I could almost taste the clouds themselves even though I knew they were so far away. Here are my snapshots of the sky:

You know that feeling when you haven't had cotton candy in so long, and then you reach into the bag and your fingers sink into that soft, fur-like sweetness? That's what it felt like looking up at the sky. The sky reminded me of a warm summer night at a fair. But even though I captured these moments where the sky was all pink and pretty, it reminded me that even when I'm feeling heavy and it feels like the world is just crashing all around me, there are still beautiful things that exist outside of all the pain and heartache. It reminded me that beauty can still exist even in the moments where I feel like there is not much beauty happening in my life. It's there. I just have to take a moment to stop and find it. Marvel at the small moments that remind me that nothing is permanent. Not even the pain. Not even the aches. Not even the heaviness. Seeing how the sky looked like cotton candy was just a small gift. It didn't cost anything but it still made a difference in my day. Okay, I have to write about this too. On my way home, you know when I was so distracted by the sky, I accidently spilt my tea all over my sweater as I was trying to snap another picture. It made me laugh because I was so happy that I was able to take a picture of the sky and how it looked almost melancholic against the darkness of the trees, that I didn't realize that the lid was still open. I felt this wet patch on my shirt and I was like omggg. It was funny. I'll show you those pictures too.

I thought these looked so cool. It was just interesting to me how the trees were so dark but then the sky was so light. It was like capturing two different moments in time. I was also blasting the song We Are the People by Empire Of The Sun. I love this song and it just fit with the moment so well. I was just belting the lyrics out loud, not even caring if other people could hear me.

"I CAN'T DO WELL WHEN I THINK YOUR GONNA LEAVE, BUT I KNOW I TRY."

"ARE YOU GONNA LEAVE ME NOW? CAN'T YOU BE BELIEVING NOW?"
