What Are The Things You Are Up To When It Rains?
Rain is such a mood sometimes. Some people, especially those who are getting mad when it is raining often, the farmers; are get mad because they want to have their crops a balanced serving of sunlight and rain as how they want to have their children the food they keep hard working for. Some kids, especially those who can get outside and enjoy the cold breeze and drops of the rain because their parents allowed them. It is happy to see such kids playing in the rain, laughing; playing in the water from the rain. But, a sad moment for those kids who don't get able to go outside because they have parents that are strict and don't want their kids touched by any dirt. As for the elders, they treat the rain as their best time to remember the moments they have been cherishing and keeping most of the time. These are some moments I experienced and seen in my life and have been the factors why I see rain as a good thing. How about you, how does rain affect you?
What are the things are you up to when it is raining? Well, I am up for a bowl of soup or even more because sipping hot soup when raining is giving me butterflies. Who doesn't want soup, anyway? I am up for preparing the things we need when it is raining. How ready are you when the news said there will be a coming storm in the vicinity of your area? Are you the one who thinks immediately after hearing that news? Or the one who just treats the rain as nothing? Maybe, we are in the center. We see rain as nothing but rain. All my life, there are no strong typhoons but the two typhoons that crippled us in 2019 and 2017. Those were the times we were still at our house and my father was still alive. Those were indeed good days as whenever rain comes, there was always soup on our table. Also, I didn't see rain before like how I see rain today. I only see some playmates before that were playing along with the gust of the rain, but it changed as years go by. Rain somehow becomes the rest day of the world nowadays. Do you observe the same thing? That, sometimes, rain makes the world move slower than how fast it develops. Sometimes, it becomes the way for most people to rest because they are maximizing the sunny days. They believe that sunny days are working days, but little they didn't know, that rain must want us to recognize something.
Maybe, just a simple thought of mine that I recognized after I watched some episodes of other lives in the form of films; rain might tell us to slower ourselves from pressure. Have you reflected on yourself these days? Have you recognized that as the days go by, the harder our lives get? Or am I just the one who gets it because I am about to enter my adult life? But, no matter how hard life gets, may we remember to be like the rain; no matter how big the amount of water that gets into us or fast the process of filling up the water into us takes, may we remember to rain down our emotions like how the rain serves us the water it takes to gather.
This is some reflection I took these past few days. I am already feeling myself in my adult life. Actually, it started back when my father died. I am the one who stands up as a father to my siblings. Though I can't fully support them financially because I am still studying, I am still making my best to make money as much as I could. They are giving me the water that fills me up sometimes but they are also the ones who help me to rain it down. Neither of us was perfectly born, yet we are here to make the best life we could ever dream of. May we remember to rain down the emotions that we gathered from our silent battles and find someone who can help us to rain them down faster.
