           I love watching the rain. The smell of it, the sound it makes when it hits the ground...glorious if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, I hate the rain when you'd rather be sleeping in but you have to wake up early. Nobody likes getting out of bed in that cold , well mostly . In the evenings when you can just grab yourself some coffee and sit. The afternoons when you're with friends or family and you are chatting away to the background of the rain ( You're secretly watching it because none of them know you have that weird fetish) That right there is a visit to heaven.
           I've watched the rain this afternoon through the same window I did back when I was between 7 and 12. The same old feeling of calmness was still there Even though the surrounding might have changed after all these years, calmness came to me. She came over to say hi. To ask how I've been doing all these years. Turns out we've both had some rough days, but we were still happy to see each other , with me all grown and what not.
            She was jealous that I've found others like her in all the other places I've watched the rain . But she was my first love. Y'know the funny thing is that it was a perfectly  bright day with not a single sign that it would rain. I'm however happy that it did. I met an old friend by chance and she made me glad for friendships that last a lifetime.

            Background music? Check. Inspiration is in the air today. Actually inspiration has been in the air all week I even considered starting guitar classes, creativity is creativity, right ? Are blogs just YouTube channels for kids who aren't sure about camera angles and video backgrounds ?🙅💆💆 Hmmmm.. ..Anyway I digress. When it comes to you it comes to you. That one thing that you don't have to think about to do. It's like second nature. You might be the crowd puller, the crowd enhancer, crowd avoider, but you're somewhere in that crowd, or not, if that makes any sense.Wait a minute, you remember that  background music we checked up there ? Well it's some cheesy stuff like Shawn Mendes, Adelle, you know the type, all lyrics and emotions, kinda distracting. Like did you notice that Shawn Mendes is almost always lying down in his videos. Okay now I sound like I'm in high school.  Let's switch to some lullaby jazz instrumentals. Real g

The cocktail

There's a mix of people in our lives, different characters, all together making up this one crazy cocktail of friends. Let's see if we can describe everyone in your circle.   1. The funny bone At least everyone has this one, and if you're lucky you have more than one. This is the outstandingly funny person in the group; constantly making jokes so you're always laughing when you're with them. Now I know you're thinking, but all my friends make me laugh. I assure you this one has the specific talent of rib-holding, rolling on the floor kind of happiness. 2.The sweet tooth. Probably a she. Don't sue me for sexism or anything but yeah, probably a she😅. Sweetest thing you've ever met. you cannot even imagine them angry with you for more than 2 mins, they are just too nice. Your first option in case you need a favor. 3. La Rationale The thinker, they make the best plans. Always overanalyzing stuff. Them; Guys if it's going to CJ's

Writer's confessions

Happy, such a simple word. Two syllable word, ha-ppy. I mean how hard could it be. To be happy? That's the challenge right there. I know my audience is probably millennials who are 'living their best life', for the gram and all, but work with me here. In the waking up, looking forward to your day, the day itself, all the way to your reflection at the end of it all just before you go to sleep. Happy, even when there's a driver that's been honking for the past 10 minutes for whatever reason right outside your house while all you're trying to do is have a lovely evening, worst case scenario. We're all just trying the best we can, because essentially no one really wakes up wanting to have the worst week of their lives, or to have everything that could go wrong literally go wrong.  If I keep going down this path this might turn into sappy life advice, not really what I'm going for, so let's rephrase.  They say you cannot really separate an arti
