I love the rain. Always. And now that it’s summer, it’s warm enough to go out and be in it. I did that today. It’s been raining heavily on and off all day, and I wanted to go outside just to be in the rain, but I sort of missed it twice. Then I went to get some groceries and when I was done in the shop it was absolutely pouring out! People wouldn’t even leave to get to their cars, they stood in the doorway waiting. But I walked straight out into the rain and got completely soaked within a few seconds. :) It’s a five minute walk to my place and I walked slowly, enjoying the rain, splashing my rain boots in puddles and just being ridiculous. Lovely. When I got home I took a hot shower. Perfection. Seriously, simple things like this totally make my day. I should do things like this every chance I get. I’ve decided to spend more time in nature, taking daily walks, watching the stars, lying on the grass, reading in trees, going outside when it rains, and so on. I think it will make me a happier person. I love the smells of nature, and the messiness. And I love heights and views! I really wish I lived in the country where nature is everywhere and it’s not weird to just go for a nature walk because you feel like it. Here in the city it’s both a little difficult finding good spots and it’s also “weird” to just be sitting on a tree stub somewhere thinking or admiring the view. Why is that? 4 days ago
