Rain. ♥
Today, for the first time in a long time, it rained. Earlier in the morning, because of the thick walls that encased me I didn’t have the faintest idea of the weather. I wasn’t fretting over the days outfit, nor the events that would surely unfold during its course. My mind was elsewhere, it was still stuck in yesterday. Yesterday? The brief time that I was asleep, separating today from yesterday, nothing had changed my concentration on all the evils I experienced 24 hours ago. I had of course tried to recall any dreams I might have had during the night, but I had no recollection… I’m sure I did dream, but since my concentration was somewhere else, and not on the dreams, they would not come to mind. I ventured outside after I had gotten dressed and answered a few texts I’d ignored through the night. As I swung through the doorway I gasped, and half chuckled. Drips of rain instantly began to speckle my exposed face…
I love the rain, It is truly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Considering my age it is not very long, however I doubt I will see anything more beautiful than rain. Dark gloomy clouds engulf the sky and blot out the sun, some people find this sort of thing to be depressing… But it brings me joy. Ever since I was young I was constantly getting scolded at for standing out in the rain; That is a habit that I haven’t ever been able to grow out of. You can’t separate someone from something it loves, And I love the rain.
I am very sensitive to temperature, I can’t stand heat; It makes me very grumpy and irritable. When the rain falls and slides against my skin (cooling it) I feel calm, and comforted? It is hard to explain. And the small right before it rains, is possibly one of my favorite things about it. It smells so clean and pure. When the wind (that usually accompanies a storm) blows the branches and leaves of trees my ears seem to become larger to hear every little crackle and shake, It also causes my hair to blow and tickle at my cheeks which always makes me smile. The thunder does not scare me, it arises my curiosity and gives me a larger sense of respect towards nature and all things in it… There is a simple scientific answer as to why there is thunder, however for me it’s just a natural phenomenon to be enjoyed.
I have experienced a lot of things while in the rain, Revelations, emotions, memories. But all of the things I’ve experienced are good things, so I remember them every time it begins to rain. A rainstorm reminds me a lot of myself, it can be very calm and soothing, but it can also be unforgiving and strong. I look forward to everyday that rain paves the ground, it quenches the thirst of the plants, ultimately keeping them alive… It also quenches my thirst for life, keeping me alive.
