rain walk

Walking alone in the rain can be strangely liberating.

After a long day, not being as productive as you would have hoped to be, watching a movie on a broken projector and laughing and giggling and saying the lines just as the characters on-screen are with people you may just may consider friends, I found it necessary to make my own way back home.

No favours. I am my own person. And I intend to become that person under my own steam.

Something I suppose which is a personal philosophy; so yes. It’s not about being shy or stupid, it’s about how if I can’t even be independent from getting from place to place, how can I reach the places I want without help?

So walking in the rain, in the dark. Finding my way through unfamiliar lanes. Getting to where I wanted.

It helped my soul.

I don’t think I’ve lost who I am.

And walking in the rain. Not wanting to reach the end of my journey. Not really.

It is liberating. Assurance of my independence.

And a reminder of my solitariness.

vikki you’re crazy – there were two cars, you could’ve taken a ride on one! eunice | Dec 3, 03:19 PM | #
Eunnie, I have to legs; I did take a ride on both of them. Heh.

Anyway, I needed the alone time to think through some things. All was not well. Vicnan | Dec 3, 07:27 PM | #
The rain has a rather calming effect… It seems to fit all moods as well. When you are unhappy, it is like the sky is crying with you… When you are happy, it’s such a lively and refreshing feeling to be in that rain… suki | Dec 4, 05:45 PM | #

rain cleanses and refresh my feelings, or so it seems to me. i have the habit of putting my hands outta the window when it rains. I just wanna be close to nature once in a while. away from this doubtful society. mistkron | Dec 5, 06:41 PM | #
suki: It is amazing, isn’t it? Good clean rain though; not the grubby kind carrying the dust of weeks.

mistkron: aww, that’s the nicest thing I’ve heard all day (so yeah, it wasn’t exactly the best of ones). Just link me as podeam, or vicnan. Thank you! Vicnan | Dec 5, 08:24 PM | #
