blossoming spring

Blossoms... Their beauty is not worth the horrible pain they will bring. These blossoms bloomed just this last week, overnight almost. I can already feel my throat and nose closing up and getting ready for the adventure of the oh-so-loved... allergies. Last year was my first allergy experience. Must be because it was my first year living anywhere but Alaska for the blooming season. I don't know how it'll go over this year but I am not looking forward to it. They may be beautiful, all of the blossoms on all of the trees everywhere you look. But I can't help but hate them because they are a dark and looming fate just waiting to attack. Any minute now. Any minute.
