Is it strange too

Post Reply New Topic

I love the rain, its feel, its sound, its texture, its wetness.. the fact the sky is a murky grey and htat no one is around...it's so peaceful. My mum told me i was weird because i lay crouched in the foetal posistion for half an hour outside in the rain today just feeling it....really feeling it you know. Her saying this to me upset me .

But given im having a really hard time (suicide options, self loathing, low self esteem) rain really helps me and is one of the only things keeping me going that and my love of organised crime and nature and walking and art . Oh and history. Is this odd?

Thanks, its porbably one of my fauvorite and most loved experiences ever. yeah i know its sad. im 16, i should be into parties and social situations but instead i love the rain ahahha .

I love a summer rain when I'm out swimming I love the feel of it pitter patering on the water and on my back.

Plus I adore the smell of a good rain.

I love the rain. I love the wetness, texture, the cold temperature, the looks of it, and the sound that it makes, when it hits the ground. I like how it beats against the window, when I'm all tucked up in bed. I also like it, when it's raining, late at night, and I don't have to work, the next morning, and I can see the reflection of the street lights, on the wet street. I can look at that, for an hour, off and on.

I know its almost euphoric XD

As Eric Clapton sang:

"Let it rain, let it rain--
Let your rain rain down on me."

(Okay, so that isn't exactly what he sang, but to anyone who has issues with it!)

Come live in Oregon. It rains a lot except for in the summer.

I don't mind the rain, I just don't like being in it.

Whatever helps you feel better. I mean, its not illegal to stand in the rain and enjoy it so go ahead.

My Father used to sit in the rain and enjoy watching it.
I did too.

Also, there is something appealing about it to some people.
I have heard women talking about "the rain scene" in "9 and a half weeks",
a movie from the 1980s, as something appealing to them.
I saw it once but don't remember because it wasn't what I imagined.

I have a vinyl record called
Environments
Music Of The Future
Gentle Rain In a Pine Forest
It is very relaxing to close my eyes and listen to it.
No Music, just a sonic panorama of misty little raindrops falling on Christmas trees,
and some birds tweeting in the distance.
A similar sound can be made by adjusting the
tone/bass/treble or equalizer on a FM radio
on any frequency with no station on it, if the radio receives noise.

wow thanks guys . Its made me feel alot better about myself

I don't think it's odd. I love the sound, smell, & sight of rain & autumn type weather is the best thing in the world to me. It soothes my soul.

Well, I must be odd too then!

When I was 3 I used to talk to the rain as it splattered against my windows, such a tickly, pleasant sound, I loved listening to the rain, the sound it makes when it rains at night and the rain makes places echo, you can almost see the spaces it's falling in from the sounds it produces....so soothing.....

Did you know that the smell you get after the rain comes from a type of spore which is literally found everywhere?!

no i didnt. wow thats quite interesting. there you go you learn something new everyday
