my city rarely gets rain. so when the skies are cloudy, gloomy, and grey, it's like i've become rejuvenated once again. something about the cold, wet weather makes me feel more at home. it gives me a sense of belonging, but even more, a sense of yearning to be somewhere completely different.
the rain just does that to me. it's like a reminder that i don't belong in this city. that this place is only temporary. there are so many different lives i could be living, if only i weren't still here. it makes me want to transfer schools to the bay area. to live the struggling college student life. to be away from the same people i've known for the past 22 years. i yearn to be older, living in a cozy apartment with my lover. away from the city that rarely rains. i think watching those tv shows/movies where the main characters run away with each other have also had an influence on me.
xx, anika
