Changing

Everyone has been impacted differently by something in their life, for some its something personal and for others it is something incredibly dumb. One night after the sun had gone down my stomach  began to yell at me. I was sure it would not stop until it was satisfied. So, I started walking. The night was cold and dark every step taking me closer to my goal. However, the walk just never seemed to be complete.
Through dark eerie woods I strode, down alleys and empty streets where once there was activity. My mind began to wander, where was I going to eat? I paced up the main road seeing only empty buildings with closed doors. Finally, I saw a light in the distance. It was the Burger King. I entered quickly and came out with a hardy burger in my hand. I was so close to my goal, but I had to wait to find a suitable curb to sit upon. I walked back towards where I came and found an empty parking lot with a vast amount of curbage. I sat ready for what was to come. Unwrapping the cover of this burger I thought I knew what was to come: A decent size burger that would help shut my stomach up and be worth the money I paid for it.
As I tasted the first bite I was completely confused, this was not a normal burger. I pressed onwards into this amazing thing. Every bite was crisp and cheesy, the best comparison would be to a great steak. When I was done I had many mixed emotions. It was a great experience, but the end of it signaled the end of the tastiness and the end of a long night.

To describe the change would be impossible but something most definetly happened late that night. Between the good, night weather and the cheap delicious food my mind has had a new attitude ever since. I believe however that there is a lesson to learn from this, something that has remained constant before then and after as well. That lesson is that, everything, whether it be an event or something else, it will be much greater late into the night.
