Drops In The River

So today is Friday and it's time for the weekend. Today was relatively easy going for me, and I have been happy most of today. Getting home and just...relaxing. It's a good feeling after a long day. I've been working, singing, going to the store, doing laundry...I feel accomplished today. And I deserve it after everything...that has happened to me.

One thing I definitely deserved was what happened to me, only a few minutes ago from writing this blog. In my last blog I mentioned I wished I could go out in the rain. Well...I did :)

Today I had made strong plans to come home and play The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass on my 3DS but that wasn't the case as it sometimes pans out. I have been watching old videos of Radiohead in all their glory, singing The Bends and a few other songs until it began to rain. I had already had my MacBook hooked up to our speakers so I had been blasting music anyways. So I decided to play another song that reminded me of the rain. But it wasn't from a video game. Yet again...Fleet Foxes. They are true artists and I have become addicted to this kind truth.

My first attempt of going outside, I found the rain to be abnormally colder than I normally find it to be. I went back inside for a moment...and then I forced myself out into by running outside and almost slipping on the pavement. The combination of the music and the sound and feeling of the rain led me to stretch my arms out and bask in the rain. 

There is no other love than the love that something like the rain can give. No other comfort like the brush of the wind against my face. No other assurance than the cold, wet stone beneath my feet.
