So right now I'm parked to the side of a highway, stuck in my car until the storming rain decides to pass. It got to the point where I couldn't even see the road so I decided to pull over. It's actually pretty peaceful sitting here alone and being relatively far from home. I don't even feel like necessarily going home right now anyway it's too empty there these days. When I was driving I thought about how easy it was for my car to just disappear off the road and no one would even know. Even now, I don't know where I am and I don't like this lightening. It seems to have calmed down a bit though. It freaks me out how everything could just be over in a split second and this whole week I've been in some weird mood because of something that in hindsight does not even matter in the broader spectrum of things. The only thing that really matters to me right now is getting home safe, the rest of my worries, well I might put them in a jar and throw them out to sea so they will never make their way back to me.

  1. When that crazy rain hit that Friday night I was 30m from home, so I just raced there, getting soaked in the process.

    I love rain. I grew up in the country so as a child I'd go play in the dirt making channels & dams for the water to run in :) I always remember it beign so peaceful, the rain falling around you creates this barrier that cacoons you from the rest of the world.

    So on that Friday when i had raced home. I dumped everything in the lounge then crossed the road and sat in the middle of a field in Albert Park. Just me and some seaguls. It was so windy and the rain so strong, I'd never experienced anything like that before. It was beautiful and I have this memory now that I'll never forget.

    It's the quietest moments that can have the loudest impact.
