The Rain Poured on April First

Beginnings will always be the hardest part because it is accompanied by endings and changes. When you step your feet into a new place, you are leaving another world.

Today marks the first day of April — my birthmonth! Of course, this is my favorite month of the year. The flowers bloom, the water becomes crystal, the air smells like summer.

However, to my surprise, it rained on the first day of April.

I looked down on the plants outside my window and they looked happy embracing the raindrops from the sky.

I actually took a nap after I had my lunch. When J woke up, the sky is gloomy and it was a bit windy. Then the rain started to pour.

I feel happy that the rain didn’t make me feel anxious this time unlike before. I think that’s another step up for my healing.

April is a month for bliss.

Happiness is not something you wait for from someone, not something that will occur to you at the specific day you planned it to come, and definitely not something you find elsewhere in this world. Happiness is something you make.

Positive thinking is scary because it could result to toxic positivity which brings more negative effects than good. You can bring happiness when your positive thinking coordinates with your positive actions.

April is a month for butterflies.

Let the plants rooted in place and bloom wherever they are. Let the butterflies come by, open the doors for new possibilities and changes. Do not be afraid to change colors. Dip our minds into new realities. Fly with your wings into places that you’re most afraid to visit. It’s okay to settle but there’s no harm in aiming bigger and exploring new things, even if it causes you to change.

April is a month for growth.

Stand even if your knees are shaking, swim even if the oceans are soaring high, climb even if the wind tells you to go down. Let your will decide what’s best for you. Claim it, we’ll grow more in strange places.

I am hoping that the rain has blessed our April an abundance of love, kindness, and perseverance. I hope the rain has cleansed our regrets and repents, flushed it away from the purity of our hearts so that we can learn to open it up to new people and chances.

I will be turning 21 years old this month and I need to surpass greater challenges. I hope the stars will still align according to my way. I am looking forward to more self-love and self-worth this month. Now, that I’ve seen its significance to my well-being, I became more inclined in making myself better each day.

This is another scribbles straight from my messy mind. Though sometimes we overlook into the various things around us, I know, in the future, everything will be clear in sight.

I was supposed to publish this last night but I immediately fell asleep after jumping in my bed. That’s a proof how tired I am for this week. But at least, it’s done and I was still able to survive it no matter what.

Let’s give ourselves the best kind of rest this weekend!

If you’ve reached this point, you’re a legend! Thank you for your time and support.

Remember:

The sky is our only limit.
