It seems like I come back to this corner of the internet only when I am overwhelmed with pain. Or, when I am feeling rather poetic about my sorrows.

For context, the last couple of years have been kind of tough. However it's only recently, that I truly learned how to deal with them like an adult. All this while, I thought running away from my problems would help me. But as cliché as it sounds, no matter how tough it gets, it really does help to go out for a walk in the sun, even if you are unaware about the heat wave in Allegheny County.

Back to my sorrow for the day. It's my grandfather's 21st death anniversary today. I know I talk a bit too much about my grandparents but this year it's particularly hard because my grandmother is in the hospital. You know what? Let's put a pin on it.

Truth be told, I wanted to write something this past Sunday.

With how things have been going, I have been forcing myself to go out on more walks. So on Sunday, at about 4 PM I left my house to go to the library. However, the scorching heat got me on the first bus that came my way. With no solid plans in mind, I just sat in the bus for about half an hour. Thankfully, right next to the stop I got off was a park.

Anyways, after quite a bit of exploring, including walking into two different weddings at nearby churches and drinking two glasses of pineapple juice at a friend's house, I decided I had my fair share of adventures for the day.

Coming back to my grandparents, I love the month of June. I loved it when June was all about monsoons back home and I love it now when it's all sunny and warm. I also love that June is a personal favorite for wedding planners (watch Bride Wars if you haven't). Which is why it's tough when there's also memories of my grandfather associated with the month.

But that's how you know something of the past was special. Like my therapist ever so kindly put it, somethings are more valuable than your dresser. More on that later.

In the meantime, you should check this article out about June weddings.

Note for my friend Nate: thank you for reminding me about this blog two weeks back.
