A Letter to the Rain

Oh, how I’ve never cared much for you.

Reasons: Outfit ruiner, shoe damper, energy killer.
You’ve brought sadness and gloom to days where I’d die for happiness, sunlight and warmth.

You’ve made me uncomfortable, forced me to cancel plans, kept me tucked inside the compartments of these four walls.

You’ve created endless traffic, made me late to things that mattered, and yeah; drenched my outfit to the T.

You’ve seeped into the cracks of my window, ruined the paint, and my kitchen towels alike.

But I’ve been taking you in a bit more lately.

It was never your intention to disrupt me.

While I feel thrown off, the trees and flowers are refreshed.
The soil and seeds gain power.
The air resets.
The entire ecosystem is replenished through your work.

And somehow, even unintentionally, you’ve made me think.

You’re a reminder of clearing out, of starting over, of washing things away to begin again.

Having to move through you on days I’d rather not, reminds me that life feels like that too.

This long-standing battle I’ve had with you never considered the job you have to do; the one you need to do.

And no, I’m still not completely sold on soaked socks and ruined plans so you can do your thing…

But I’m reminded & learning from you.

To move through storms.
To release and wash away what no longer serves me.
To pour into the seeds and cups that need to be filled so that they can bloom.

So, thank you rain.

With love,
Dania 💜

As always, till next time with love. RidethaVibe with Dee ❤️
