Rain

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." - Dolly Parton

Life will always have hard times, sometimes it might be a struggle to get up in the morning, but you have to get up and keep going because the rainbow is coming. This quote is so true to life because you have to put up with the rain to get the rainbow at the end. You have to keep hoping for better days and keep moving because you won't get out of the rain if you don't do anything. This quote has been on my mind lately because of the pandemic that we're in right now. We're all hoping for the rainbow at the end, we just got to get some umbrellas to block it out until it passes. But rain doesn't mean you have to stop living your life, it means that things might be a little hazy and hard to see, but you have to keep moving.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." - Vivian Greene

We have to learn to dance in the rain because the rainbow is coming soon, but it's not here right now. We have to learn to dance in the rain because tomorrow isn't promised, but today is. Live life to the fullest and when you do encounter rain, you know that it's not forever. It's hard to enjoy rain sometimes, especially when it's a downpour and that's okay. It's okay to not be okay, it's okay to cry and let things settle sometimes. Getting back up is hard, but I know that it's doable because I've done it myself. I've done it when my friend that was close to me died. I've done it when I don't want to get out of bed, but I know that I have responsibilities. You may not want to dance in the rain and you don't have to if you don't feel like dancing, but that's when you need to go to someone that can comfort you. Find shelter in the rain so that you'll be okay when it's over.
