LOVE, Kloudiia

Rainy days always seem to make one melancholic. It is as if the gloomy sky, the pattering sound of the rain hitting the window, the cool breeze all adds one to put one in a deep state of reflection or laze.

At the same time, it also puts one in a wandering mode. Our thoughts, imagination, people’s faces, problems, dreams, fantasies. They all start to wander as they wonder.

My mind is in a much clearer state. Perhaps it’s the cool air. Or maybe the sound of the rain (which coincidentally has a similar effect when I listen to the sound of waves lapping onto the shore). Or it could be both.

Sometimes when we are lucky, real lucky, rainbows appear after the rain! Oh, rainbows. It always never fails to amaze me at the wonders of nature. Look at the colours. How beautiful and radiant. How lovely. See, I am wondering again.

I know rainy days is the biggest temptation to keep you in bed. Yet, strange enough, I feel much more energised, and able to stay focused on my work during rainy days. I feel awake, like now. On the other hand, hot humid days make me sleepy. I am sure it is the bright glare of the sun.

On another note, rainy days give people a chance to make friends. Offer your umbrella to the damsel in distress, and you’ll be rememered for sure. Same happens if the lady offers to shelter the man. Wouldn’t you be grateful for this ride in the rain?

I wasn’t able to appreciate rainy days so much in the past. Hey, I dread having to wake up so early in the morning only to find the sky pouring down raindrops, which means I will probably get wet on my way to work. And I need to bring an umbrella! And it’s a Monday morning!

What raindrops pattering? There was no window in my office. I guess the only feeling I remembered was the exceptionally cold sensation all over me. Not good. I don’t love to be frozen.

But, what if you step out of the office and you see a rainbow … Suddenly it makes sense that there is rain. If there is no rain, there will be no rainbow.

 

No pain, no gain. No life challenges, no life rewards. No love, no happiness of being loved.
