Dancing In The Rain

*I really don't know why I named this blog the name I did. I just like dancing in the rain. So this is just a commentary about what it feels like :)*

Spinning faster and faster, than standing still. Stretching my hands and soaking up the miniscule droplets of water, and absorbing them into my clothes and skin. It's difficult to describe the feeling of the constant drumming of raindrops on skin, just standing motionless as the water slides off my clothes to land in the ground. My hair slowly becomes drenched, and clings to my face. It's like being cleaned, enabling you to start all over again fresh and glistening (with water, of course).

There really is no pattern to the movement made while in the rain. No way to specify the actual dancing part. The pattern of raindrops falling absorbs my concentration so that the dance becomes mindless and natural...Something that just happens without thinking about it. Just spinning around would be a more suitable term than dancing. Or maybe just outright spasms, in my case. But whether you're just standing there or dancing and jerking around, the feeling of rain pouring down on you remains the same. Dancing is still the more entertaining option, though.

Rain is always associated with gloominess and boredom. We all have those days when it feels like it's raining, even if it's sunny out. But there's a way to turn those tough days around, to make fun out of the gloom and boredom. You can sit and watch the rain fall, or you can dance in it and enjoy the rainfall. Just like you can sit and allow the gloominess to overcome you, or you can turn it around and do something useful or fun (since dancing in the rain can't quite be considered as useful). You can walk gloomily through life, or you can dance through it. Either way, dancing in the rain can teach you many things, besides making sure to dry properly after the fact so as to avoid catching a cold.
