I love the rain.
I love the effect upon the rest of the environment after a good, steady rain.
I used to enjoy standing outside during a thunderstorm, and just letting the rain fall on me, the wind whipping around me, and the rumble of thunder vibrating my body all the way down to my soul.
I feel at home in it. It does not depress me, it excites me, gives me strength and purpose. The streaks of lightning don’t scare me, they empower me.
The rain washes away pain, regret, fear, doubt, and cynicism.
The water takes away bad memories, fills me with joy, and then forgets everything that it touched, because when it returns, it will be new again, having never met me.
I always look forward to our first and only reunion.
