I Don't Mind The Rain

Today has been an odd one. I woke up this morning to what seemed like a nice day, I got up and ready to go out as usual, but stopped short at the door when I realised it was raining. It wasn't heavy but it was the light rain that still gets you soaked, even if you're only there for a few minutes. 

Well last night (looking back from my little story there) I found my old IPod Shuffle, and managed to get it working again, loaded it up with my favourite songs and I was happy because I could start using that again rather than my phone all the time. 

So yeah, stood at the door, watching the rain fall down into thick puddles at my feet. My bus was due in less than five minutes, and deciding I didn't have enough time to chuck my coat on or run upstairs for my umbrella, I put my earphones in, hit play and stepped out into the rain. I ran. I ran in the rain, listening to 'Ever Fallen in Love' by Pete Yorn and just running in the rain. I was on the verge of soaked when I got to my bus stop, and thankfully made it on time, also finding enough time to grab my pass from my bag and find some change... 

I couldn't stop smiling - it was the strangest thing. I was soaking wet, uncomfortable, waiting for the bus in horrible weather... and I was laughing, unable to wipe the grin from my face. It was a moment where I didn't care if anyone was watching me, I didn't care if I'd got soaked because it was FUN. It was so fun I wish I can do it again very soon - because when you stop caring about a little bit of water falling from the sky, you begin to have fun. 

Suddenly it becomes one of the best decisions you've made in a long time, because there are no regrets. This morning I had the most fun I have had on my own in weeks, just by running through the rain listening to an amazing song. 

I loved every stinkin' moment of it. It was my moment, and I am so glad for the rain today.
