The hour change altered my routine slightly. When I went for my walk, I met completely different people I hadn't seen in what seemed like forever. It was surreal.
As I walked I got some strange feelings of sadness, as if it was past my bedtime. It was a cold evening and it had just stopped raining, but it was still very dark and gloomy.
I thought about everyday life and how different it seemed today than yesterday. The faces I met were friendly, but they were different and I didn't see the regular faces.
Then I saw a face of a girl I hadn't seen in a long time. She greeted me with delight and hugged me. We talked like old friends for a long time and even took a detour on the walk to chat away in private somewhere off the main path.
Just like that, life started making sense again and I felt good about it. The girl gave me her number and told me to text her during the cold months to come.
