rain

i love it when it rains and the chaos it brings. leaving my window open just a crack, sleeping to the sound of raindrops on rooftops. it brings me peace.

there’s this chris isaak song, lie to me, where rain shows up in the background. subtle, but it’s there. every time i hear it, i think about those nights when everything outside is washing away and inside you’re just… still. rain does that - makes the world feel smaller, quieter, like you’re the only person awake. maybe that’s why i always leave the window open.
