Peeping through my window.

I've decided that the Rain is actually my favourite thing- as cliche as my choice may be, It honestly gives me so much joy. Whilst most people would describe a cold rainy day as something horrible and dismal, I see them as my secret joy, almost like a private love. Its slightly ironic though, that such a common interest that many people have like the rain is my private love, I mean its not private if the whole world loves it too right? but i dont mean private as in exclusive, Im not the only one who likes the rain. Its my private love because whenever its raining, thats my favourite time to be alone. With nothing but my thoughts to keep me company, just watching each raindrop fall and gently shatter when they hit the floor. When a lot of people think of the rain, they think of uncomfortable cold, ruined hair and squelching shoes. But in my head, the first things that come to mind are feelings of comfort and warmth and solitude... beauty almost.
I love the smell of the rain. It brings feelings of blissful comfort, memories of the many times i've rugged up just to sit by an open window and watch the rainfall. I love the feeling of walking through the rain, each raindrop adding its contribution to soaking my hair and skin, feeling so alive and so free. I love the sound of the rain, hearing it fall all around me yet never touching me. Im extremely grateful for the fact that my house has lots of windows, and multiple skylights too. It just makes each rainy day an especially lovely time.

When disappointment turns to inspiration.

I am proud to announce, that this post wont be as completely depressing and negative as my recents. Its just a little story to share, that i quite enjoy. So I have this little postcard stuck on my wall. I got it from the library at school, and its meant to be an ad for any emerging artists to send their entries into this postcard place, but i kept it because of the picture. On it is a little sketched cartoon of a boy, who is standing in front of a colourful happy background, but there's a raincloud above his head, and he's crying. The title above him reads "Having a bad day?"
I dont know why, but I stuck it on my wall, half because of the cute picture and the other half because for some reason I gave it sentimental value. And whenever I am having a bad day, I see that little cartoon boy on my wall feeling just as melancholy with me. He's been there for a while now.
But today when I was sitting at my desk with my mind busy on other tasks, I glanced up at the postcard accidentally, and noticed that something was different. Someone had come into my room at some point, turned the card over, and stuck it back up on my wall. I now had the underside of the card stuck up above my desk, shining out to my bedroom. But this side said in thick black letters "Don't Worry, the sun will come out tomorrow". All this time the side with the little boy crying was on my wall, and I didnt even know that the other side had this cute message on it. But when i saw that message up on my wall, it gave me a huge case of the warm-and-fuzzies. It just so happened that at this certain time, i was indeed having a very stressful day. And when I saw that little message, even though I have no idea who put it up there, it made me feel like that person cared. Those warm-fuzzies gave me a sort of epiphany, and actually brightened up my whole day. During this feel-good mood, I decided to do a little experiment, and i typed 'happiness' into google images. I then found this picture. The words on it only added to my epiphany and further opened and cleared my mind. They were like the sign that had to be held in front of my eyes to tell me what i'd been doing wrong this whole time. Have a look for yourself, im sure you'll understand.

Emotional Hearing.

Don't you love those songs, that are so extremely emotional that they make the feeling swell up inside you and feel like its about to explode? those songs are my favourite. They don't always necessarily have to be sad emotions, some songs are so cute and happy that they make you blissful and giddy and then the feeling that you're about to explode with is happiness. I can pretty much think of a different song that does this for each emotion. But when you listen to these songs, they make you wanna cry out the lyrics as loud as you can, and just pour out everything you're feeling into those lyrics. Most of the time you can hear the singer doing exactly that, and that's why the emotion of the song is so powerful. You feel it swell up inside you, building up bigger and bigger until the song bursts with emotion and you hear what they're feeling not in their words specifically, but just in the song, in their voice.
Best example: "You be the anchor that keeps my feet on the ground, i'll be the wings that keep your heart in the clouds" by Mayday Parade.
Despite its extremely long title, you can practically hear the hurt in this song. You hear it so clear that you start to feel the singer's own pain. God i love this song.
