sakura

yesterday was sunny. i went to the gardens with saara and suomies (how cool is that?) and that itself was very nice.

however, i had a problem as we rounded the corner and the blossoming cherry trees came into view. they were absolutely gorgeous. it made me feel intensely sad, in the wistful sort of way.

i know it's not an uncommon phenomenon, but why the sakura inspire this sort of feeling i have yet to define precisely for myself.
