Rain.

I like rain.

Apparently that is strange so my question tonight is. Why do people dislike rain?

Like honestly rain is associated with melancholy and sadness and depression. The saying is, "Stuck under a black cloud" (not sure whether that's an actual saying or whether I'm making that up. Eh who cares, I'll roll with it) not under a blue sky. So why is there such a stigma against rain?

There is no reason for us to reasonably associate rain with sadness or bad things. Rain comes for growth, for harvest. Rain is a reason for us to stay inside and watch the world pass by. Rain is pretty cool if you think about it. I live in Australia where we are famous for sunny skies and sounding very much like the spoilt rich kid I am - It gets a bit boring after a while.

I'm writing this now because I can't get to sleep. And I can't get to sleep because it's too hot and I'm one of these people that have to have the pressure of a blanket or something on me before I fall asleep. And it's just to hot to do that.

So why do we hate rain and hate the cold and hate winter? Is it because of the darkness and the dreariness it brings? Because if so that's pretty stupid.

In the end though I get it. Some people like cold, some people like warm. I'm too tired to be writing cohesive sentences so I'm ending it here with this point. Everyone has there own opinion, there own ideals and there own values. I like rain, you may not.

Rain is just pretty awesome to me. The sound of raindrops on the roof, the sound of droplets hitting the pool. The warmth you get when coming inside from the rain.

I just really like rain.
