The mint

Times were rough, you see. There were changes of unknown magnitude, and I had to make sure I was prepared for them. I've been caught ill-prepared in the past, so this time I knew I would have to go in with a game plan. Combatting change effortlessly would require a genius-stroke on my part, and in a moment of inspiration, it came to me. I made sure that through the changing seasons, people and places, there was that one same mint lying on my desk, to provide the one constant I needed to reassure me. I had forgotten about it till today, and I couldn't help but smile. It's funny that two months should be so easily captured in something as tiny as a mint. A tasty one, at that.
