The rain child

in #ocd4 years ago (edited)

Thunders and splashing. A pungent smell of cold freshness. There is something about the rain, there is something that makes me feel so good when it happens. It is pouring now and I love it. I can hear the drops of water smashing into my windows and it is like a symphony. I am listening to every note.

I can't remember the exact moment when I fell in love with this. But I can recall my childhood memories going at the countryside and running like crazy when rain caught me playing on the meadows. Warm rain. It didn't feel cold. It felt invigorating. Forced to go inside, I wanted to sit and stare at the window and watch the clouds. I was mesmerised.

The thing I love the most is the smell. The smell of wet concrete, wet grass. The smell of dust washed away. As a child I used to take a bottle of water, make holes in the cork and pretend I am using it as a rain sprinkler. Then I climbed up and down in the building where I used to live and watered the stairs while inhaling the smell. I created my own rain ecosytem. Children can be so creative.

Getting caught by a warm rain is amazing. It happened once when I was climbing a mountain. Out of the blue, pouring rain. I was soaking wet and I loved it. Although it feels scary and maybe uncomfortable, after you get dry, you feel good. The same feeling that you have after you play with snow. That warming tingly sensation you get once the moment has passed and you are safe inside.

I love rain because most people avoid it. And then there is quiet. There aren't crowds and crowds of people on the streets anymore. And you can hear more than the urban noise, you can hear the water of clouds hitting your skin. It is like a drop of the universe is touching you and you're so in the moment you can almost taste it.

Have a magnificent day and toodle loo!

Beautiful symphony and very refreshing rain ... Very beautiful. I like best friend. ❤

Thank you, glad you liked it!

You know what smell that instantly bring me to my childhood? It is the smell of the dry soil when it is hit by rain.

Ohhh yeahhh. I love that too. It is wonderful💙

Yeah! I love rain, too, especially the starting rain or showery rain, happy running in circles and looked up the sky with eyes blinking and wondered where the water came from... kids mind.

Wonderful! Thank you for taking time to read and share! Rain can really make you feel like a kid again if you enjoy it

I also love the rain, it brings back good childhood memories. Thank you for bringing pleasant things to my memory.

Awesome! I appreciate that you took the time to read and that it brought to life good memories😊😊

I love the smell of rain and it's funny how specific scents can rush back the past, like a time machine of the ofactory. The particular cinnamon hot scent of creamy coloured sand with the hint of old coconut flavoured sun lotion always brings me back to childhood Summers, like the first really HOT day and when you can't wait to dive into the cool green sea!

Well done @creativemary

Oh nice! It does bring back memories. Thank you for reading!

Rain really does bring out different smells in everything. Just spraying off our lime tree sends the sweet aroma of citrus into the air. Even concrete, as you mention, smells good. I just don't like pouring it in the rain. 😁

Oh citrus smell while raining... That must be nice

I have some fond memories as well of my childhood and playing in the rain. My mom used to let us out to play in it as long as it was not thundering. 😁 Did you take that picture?? That is a really great shot! Molly (my pup) hates the rain.. one drop and she freaks out. 😕

Yes, it is my picture. Edited a bit in Photoshop. Molly is too cute to have raindrops on the elegant fluffy coat😂

Good Morning @creativemary!!! Nothing nicer than watching the rain from the window with a cup of hot coffee and watching the birds take advantage of the small puddles that form to wash their feathers.

Oh yeahh! Such a lovely picture to imagine!

At this moment it is raining and leaning out the window I admire the beauty of the drops that fall on the plants.

Oh beautiful!

Petricor is my favorite smell all together with the Mastranto and Smoked wood.

Oh nice, thanks for sharing and reading me. Smoked wood is one of my favourite smells too😍😍😍

I love the smell of rain, especially at sea :D
Also beautiful, elegant photo!
