A lil’ bit of life

I walk in my room, the window is open.

I walk towards it, I can see the rain falling down. Looks pretty. The trees seem to come back to life they are so green like life has been breathe again into them. And then I turn and look at the mirror and I see my reflection staring back at me. I seem to look as lifeless as the trees were before the rain.

Rain that’s right! that’s what I need. A drop of hope and maybe a shower of happiness. I keep on chasing after my future’s happiness and alas! it all seem to remain in the distant future. I keep on looking for the clouds but the rain is not pouring ..not even a single drop.

No, the rain is falling but apparently not on me. I seem to keep on evaporating the rain from my heat, I am not letting it fall, the drops that are falling rite now seems as a nuisance.

I need to let go of the bitterness and absorb all the goodness of this water to come back to life.

Learn the lessons that come through the mistakes and be happy in the moments I have been gifted.

Guts to be happy at this present will help me be happy at any outcome of my future.

I turn my face towards the window again. The trees and grass looks greener than ever. I smile, it’s raining alright!

And afterall aren’t we all chasing after happiness in the end..
