Something about rain that soothes an aching soul, breathing new air into your lungs. I was never a good forecaster of the weather. Hell, i'm one of the last people to realize its even raining, if you know what i mean. So I got caught in the rain today. Hence I gave up on my headphones and decided to embrace the downpour in its full splendor. One thing I had loved when I had stayed there in the East was the long walk to my aunt's place. People probably thought I was nuts smiling to myself while walking in the rain in my wet bright red t-shirt and brown pants that looked as though I had wetted myself from bottom up. Actually, I felt that the rain truly brought life to the otherwise retirement community. All of a sudden, everyone's moving at an increased pace. It had seemed that even the vehicles were driven at a higher speed to take advantage of the puddles on the roads. Moving against the winds injected a dose of adrenaline I guess I had been lacking for a while. Thoroughly exhilarating I assure you.
So if you ever found yourself being held back from your destination by a heavy downpour, why not just go for it? You might actually learn something new about yourself, or otherwise. Anyways, I don't think the torrential rains are going to dissipate anytime soon. And if you're ever looking for company, you know how to find me.
