The sky

What if one day someone came up to you and they were like, "Dude, the sky isn't blue?"
What would you say? You'd probably tell them that their crazy right? You'd bet your life that the sky was blue.
But what if you went outside and looked up and the sky was legitimately green?
Then what would you do? You'd probably be confused, you'd probably wonder what the heck happened? Why did it change?
And you'd miss it, you'd miss the way you're blue sky felt. But you couldn't get it back, the sky would be green.
You'd probably freak out, you'd wonder how in the world you were supposed to live your life under a green sky...everything would feel different for a while.
You would probably be mad at the sky...and maybe even the color green. You'd want to punch out anyone who says they like the sky green...because you loved the sky blue.
But you'd have to move on and live your life. You'd have to realize that You are who You are regardless of what color the sky is.
And you wouldn't ever forget your blue sky, part of you will always love it. And every time you looked up you'd be reminded of what the sky used to look like.
You couldn't avoid it, it's the sky. No matter how long you try to hide from it, you will eventually see it...and often.
So you'd adjust, you wouldn't love the new sky...not by a long shot. But you'd learn to live under it, to be happy, even thrive.
Part of you will always hope that the sky changes back one day...but you're not going to bank on it. If it changes back that's cool. And if it doesn't, that's okay too.
As much as you may love the blue sky...as happy as it may make you. You are okay without it.
And some people may love the green sky, that's good for them. The sky is green, it doesn't take away from the fact that it used to be blue.
Nothing could ever change that. And who knows? Maybe you'll forget about the sky altogether, maybe you'll fall in love with the ocean....
