I love Minnesota. Usually, it would be snowing right about now, but it's been rainy and cloudy for three days and I rather like it. I used to live in Washington State, so I've become acquainted with the rain like any person that lived has lived most of their life there.
I went to go put a check in the bank the other day, and the tell reminds me that it's a pretty rainy day. I told her that I was from Seattle and that it reminded me of home. She smiled.
People occasionally associate rainy days with sadness. I don't see how someone can think like that. It's beautiful. I love the rain. How it washes the snow off the road and and large clumps of snow are gone. It makes walking paths muddy and hard to get through... this doesn't bother me at all. I love when the rain stops, there's a slight mist in the air all day that remains constant. In Washington, the air was salty and misty when it rained. It smelled clean to me and there was a distinct moment when I could actually smell the rain. I miss that.
So... if it rains again tomorrow, it'll be another good day for me.
Things that have happened while it's been raining in MN:
I've been smiling lately.
My car looks clean, but it's really not.
I've been finding inspiration in my life again.
I got my financial aid check from school... so I have money again.
I've been having amazing hair days!
I've been thinking about my future.
and... for three days, loneliness hasn't crossed my mind once.
FACEBOOK UPDATE:
I haven't been on Facebook for a little under a week. It's very nice. Granted, I haven't been talking to some people, but it's not because I don't want to... it's because I'm sick of making decisions like whether or not I should be the one to talk first. I believe I'll come around... along with other people. To tell you the truth, I don't really like Facebook. In a way, it's kind of ruined my life, and now part of it will never be the same. I'm only trying to regain items I was supposed to have while on Facebook all the time...e.g.... there are many other ways of communication.
