Hi ☺️
For the past two weeks, it has been raining almost nonstop. I couldn’t continue planting in my little bucket garden. Vegetables don’t like too much rain, and honestly, writing and taking photos have also been difficult.
The weather makes you feel lazy… or maybe it simply makes you pause and live in the moment. Listening to the rain, especially around four in the morning when everything is still slow and quiet, feels calming in its own way.
I haven’t been able to take bright photos of the sky like before the rainy days when everything looked vibrant and full of light. The past two days were also tough because I had muscle pain and felt a little sick. There were things I couldn’t manage to do, like clearing the laundry from last week. For now, I’m taking it easy and allowing myself to rest until my strength fully comes back. I think I might need a massage soon.
Rain can be unforgiving when it lingers the entire day. I love rainy weather, but when your body is aching, it becomes harder to enjoy it.
To comfort myself, I made soup and have been eating more vegetables these days. A warm bowl of nilagang buto-buto feels just right during this weather. Maybe I’ll try another soup recipe later. For now, I’ll simply enjoy every sip along with the vegetables.
Monday has already passed, and I’m grateful I got through it. I’m still feeling a bit groggy, but I can tell I’m getting better. During rainy days, sometimes writing ideas come to mind. But when I open Facebook, I end up scrolling through reels nonstop—trending topics filled with toxic gossip, broken friendships, debts, and scandals. I think it’s better to stay away from those pages and focus on writing my own story during these rainy days.
Maybe this season is not about being productive or creating something bright. Maybe it’s about slowing down, listening to the rain, nourishing the body, and choosing peace over noise. For now, that is enough—and tomorrow can wait.
See you next day 😊
