Thoughts During a Stormy Afternoon

Watching the thunderstorm from my window, scared and fascinated

It was one of those days when my brain isn't in the mood to work. There were virtually no thought processes and I just felt calm and chill. So I went out to attempt productivity at a coffee shop. But after two hours of waiting for my mind to gather, I gave up, went home and took a nap.

A few hours later, I woke up to the sound of water and wind spattering against my window. Another thunderstorm broke the heat of the day and it has quickly turned everything dark and rumbly. However, instead of taking advantage of the "bed weather" and getting back to my nap, I found myself sitting up and scooting over towards my window.

It was a fascinating sight. Clouds were dark and gloomy but not all throughout -- there was still a patch of sunlight over the west side. Rain was pouring hard and sometimes made music against the walls and windows. Lightning struck the ground, seemingly at random, and was closely followed by booming and threatening thunder. The wind also blew strong, creating waves amidst the pouring rain and pushing leaves to dance according to its impulse. I was enjoying myself and I realized again how much I admire nature.

During that time, a thought finally came over. I want someone who would sit with me and also enjoy watching the rain pour down. I remember this wasn't the first time I savored the sight of water droplets falling from the skies while wind blew almost non-stop from random. So I must really like it. And I wouldn't want to settle down with a person who won't spend time for those moments with or without me. :)
