The seasons of life

I tend to spend alot of time by myself, I think it's because I'm single and also because I enjoy not being around people and being clouded with their thoughts. It's during these times of isolation that I think ALOT!! I probably think too much, well one afternoon I was enjoying lunch at one of my favorite local spots, when I walked in there the sun was shining bright and as quickly as I can say BANANA it started to rain. This reminded me much of my life and the life of others. Things can be going so good and then BAM, ligthning flashes and the shit hits the fan. I always have to remind myself that the rain will not last forever, even if it last for a long time, months, years, whatever, the clouds will go away and the sun will shine. But this also means that the sun cannot shine all the time either. Beautiful weather is not going to be around 24/7 365 days a year. So you may be having perfect spring weather for months but be prepared for a drizzle or a monsoon. Understanding that no experience in life is constant, that no feeling in life will be forever helps put things in perspective and also helps you make the best out of a situation. Rainy days can be beautiful, I have come up with some of my best poems when I am at my lowest point. I appreciate my life the most when I've been crying for hours or days. And when the weather is beautiful, I appreciate it, I love it and I don't take it for granted. So remember y'all that nothing is forever, no feeling is constant, all good things come to an end, but all bad things end too, make the best of it and be grateful for life and it's beauty.
