When it Rains

Social distancing.. Don’t you feel like one by one, many things, are making their own distant?

It is raining cats and dogs outside. The heaviest rain that I’ve ever seen. Murakami said that everything in life is a metaphor.

I started to feel that, this heavy rain is also one of them. Many things happened and become a lesson. Life is indeed a long life classroom.

I do not know much about life. In fact, I am so limited to know the unknown in the universe. I do wrong, sometimes. I hurt people, maybe myself too. With or without my intention, I might still be doing that.

Heavy rain is so scary, the storms added the disturbance. People are feeling blue, not as the bright sky’s hue, but the deep dark blue ocean. The blue color that nearly black.

Besides the chaotic things outside, I could feel something is growing within me. I imagine that it looks like a small plant that just popped up and breaks the seed. It is, indeed, the only thing that I can hug tightly.

The rain, the storms, everything that happens right now is.. A metaphor. However, as Haruki Murakami said, when you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.
