rain.

it's been raining quite a bit down here in LA over the last week, for those who didn't know. i know the weather is worse in other place and there are place that get a ton more rain, but i guess we got as much rain in one day as we did in all of last year. anyway, i'm not about to complain about the rain at all. in fact, i'm here to celebrate it.

sometimes rain is really depressing. often it's just a pain in the @$$. but it's been nice for some reason lately. i think it's in part because it's been needed (altho i'm sure with all the fires down here it's leading to mudslides due to the lack of vegetation and it's led to snow in the mountains and unfortunate deaths). it's been pretty dry down here and i feel like the rain (or at least some of it) will lead to regrowth and a fresh start.

the rain can be cleansing and refreshing. it also just causes u to kinda slow down, literally and metaphorically. seeing how green places can be after some rain just reminds you that, while it can be depressing it's also vital to life and growth and sometimes restarting.

so i'm just trying to enjoy the rain and slow down, reflect, and kinda let the rain wash away it needs to...
