Like the weather

Life is like the weather. Sometimes it's predictable, sometimes its not. It could be sunny one moment, and then pouring hail and thunder down at you the next moment. Pretty much like today's weather has been all day.

Got to school at 6:40 for zero period and it was pretty sunny for that early in the morning. I even stared at the sky for a while before going into the band room. Turned out it wouldn't last for long, because as the practice went by, people came in and we could hear the rain pouring, then later even thunder and hail! At the end of the practice, it was just a light drizzle. This actually happened several times today.

Bad storms can come and go in a flash and hit you when you least expect it. Sometimes you could be safe and sheltered from it, or caught outside in the middle of it. Often you might get a little warning drizzle, or a few gusts of wind that tell you its coming, and you should get into the safety of a roof or a building, but some people try to deny the inevitable and just pretend its not there. Then they get caught full on and get drenched in water and could be pelted by hail. They end up getting sick and could suffer for months, or sometimes they could get over it just like that.

Today was a huge metaphor of many of our lives. Bright and sunny one minute, dark and stormy the next. But such is life.

  1. Thats true. You really cant predict if its gonna rain or shine now-a-days. Especially at this time of year. When Mother nature decides to water the garden of life (earth), we can either shelter from it, or come purify ourselves in the rain, and get sick later o_O
