Deep Thoughts in the Rainy Morning

I woke up feeling cold this morning, I'm not ill alright? It's because the rain is pouring down the sky which makes the breeze of the wind colder. Like what I usually do every morning, I washed the rice and then cook it on our wood-powered stove. While waiting for it to cook, I sat on the chair in our front yard and watched the raindrops hit the leaves and flowers of our plants. 'I love this weather today' that is the first thing that I felt today as I hugged myself. The dark clouds are covering the sky, the sounds of raindrops as it hits the ground is very calming, and the quiet environment makes me think of the thoughts that I want to share with you today. These are just random questions for today's article so bear with me.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TRIED SOMETHING NEW?

I was in my senior year in high school at that time (11th grade), and the pandemic hasn't started yet when I became interested in learning how to play the guitar. I don't know why I suddenly became so eager to play an instrument but presumably, it's the influence of my environment. Seeing my classmates play different musical instruments like guitar, keyboard, ukulele, drums, flute, and many more make me curious about it.

I even asked my classmates to teach me and they happily agreed. They teach me the basics of playing until I memorized the chords and strumming. Looking back at that memories still brings me joy, I am still not that good at playing the guitar but I am looking forward to continuing to learn that instrument.

WHO DO YOU SOMETIMES COMPARE YOURSELF TO?

Truth be told, there's no particular person to who I keep comparing myself but I tend to compare myself to people who have big confidence and are socially active and effective. Those are the qualities that I believe I don't have or lack. But since I am a grown-up man now, in the first year of being a college student, I am slowly building my self-esteem and self-confidence because I want to get out of my comfort zone, take risks, and be sociable because you know I am an introverted type of person but I'm working with it right now.

WHAT'S THE MOST SENSIBLE THING YOU'VE HEARD SOMEONE SAY?

"If you failed once, don't stop. If you failed twice, don't stop. If you failed thrice, don't stop. But if you failed so many times, stop, think for a while then don't stop." — This came from my adviser in my 10th grade and until now I still remember it because of its message and meaning. It serves as my reminder every day that it's okay to experience failure, it's okay to take a rest, and the only thing that matters the most is to not give up on everything we do. It's okay to fail but it doesn't mean we are already a failure.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

I just realized today that I am more comfortable writing if it's a rainy day. I can focus more, think more, and express myself in this kind of weather. I think it's because of the coldness, that makes me more productive 😹
