#18 Dancing in the rain.

I never really understood why some people are so scared of rain and getting wet and hide beneath their huge umbrellas instead, moaning about the weather and wishing it was summer.
No. Just no.

Rain is beautiful. Feeling it is a sign that you're alive and healthy. Turn your face towards the sky and feel the raindrops splatter on your face, realizing that they're in the true sense of the word a gift from heaven. Do you even realize that these drops of water have travelled the seas, flew above the countryside and started their final trip by raining down on you? Those drops are pieces of the infinite circle that is life, just like you, me or any other living or dead being on this planet. Appreciate them.

Dancing in the rain is a beautiful metaphor for how you should live your life. We all live to face ups and downs and it's not about enjoying the sunbeams and the endless pleasures of summer, but to stand in the rain as it pours down on you with all its power and actually enjoy it. Spread your arms and embrace it. Dance.

Make sure you can deal with the rain. Make sure you're the one to stand tall when life gets rough, to stand up when it's all crashing down on you and face the pain and the fears with all your willpower.

After all, it's not going to rain forever. So you might aswell enjoy it while it lasts.

Stay strong.
