hurts so good

dear edinburgh,

thank you for the sunburn. i didn't know you had it in you. i feel guilty for all the insensitive, hurtful things i've said about your foul weather, your gray skies and wind and rain, your inability to shine when it's needed. i have been wrong. you never cease to amaze me. don't sell yourself short.

i hope you won't be offended if i wear sunscreen tomorrow.

love, jana
