Darkness envelops before the light of day can shine

The end of another month is fast approaching. Not just any month the last of the year. December has always held the record for the most amount of deaths of any month of the year. Car crashes, drug overdoses and suicide all increase this time of year. The sudden realisation of how alone people really are seems to blanket the warmth of life that shines from everything around us. On the flip side nine months past Christmas holds the most amount of births of any month of the year. It's the month where i was born.

The temperature is closely approaching unbearable, I feel a need to hide from the world and only come out at night during the summer. The night is always welcoming to my soul. However, clouds loam in the sky above my head, blocking the stars from my view. It's the only comfort, living in the country. The stars at night. The only thing I like more than the stars in a night sky is a rainstorm. Not the actual rain but the moment just before where you can hear in the distance the roar of the water as it crashes into the ground. And after woods when a silence settles around you before the earth awakens from it's slumber during the downpour. It's always seemed strange in my mind when people need to travel on foot during the rain and they run. Stop. Enjoy the feeling of the water on your skin, realise what exactly your hiding from. Life. Water is the source of existence. It shouldn't be shunned, embrace it.
