Southern California has one of the weird weather experience today. As I walked outside the building where I work to take a short walk, I suddenly realize how hot it was all of the sudden. Hot is an exaggeration of the description of the current condition; the temperature definitely raises to an abnormal level and the air feels more sticky and gross all of the sudden but it is not hot to the point like in the summer where the temperature can raise to 100 degree Fahrenheit. Google weather shows it is 86 degree Fahrenheit and as I walked to my car after my work shift it was the last thing I expected. It feels like my place of birth in Vietnam and at first I did not like it but unexpectedly, I came to be fine with it and even enjoy it. The air feels foreign and the oddity definitely is rare for a Southern California girl like me. All in all, adaptation is the way to go--like I have other choice-- and I find myself enjoying it tremendously; it is good to have a change in weather now and then rather than having a sunny day all the time which Southern California is well-known for. The weather taught me that we can get used to something over time--no matter what life circumstances throw at us. Life is about adapting to the unwanted and the unexpected and that is how we, as humans, survive for centuries. It's the matter of accepting what is happening in our lives and be still rather than struggling to get out of it because there will be time where we cannot escape our situation, it's just the way life is and all we have to do is to accept it for what it is and continue living.
