the rain.

rain leaves a mark on you.

a wet, cool splatter on your skin.

or a stain on your clothes.

the less force on the rain, the more you don't notice it.

if it's just drizzling slightly, you don't pay attention to it.

you don't need to turn on your windshield wiper.

you can see everything just fine.

but when it's pouring, when there is thunder rumbling in the background, when there is lightning flashing in your eyes.

the windshield wiper is not enough.

don't let the rain discourage you.

it is meant to do that.

what you need to do is persevere.

don't let the rain win.

don't give up.

don't think that this should be the end.

because what have you proven if you let rain stop you?

rain can seem like the most important thing when it's there.

but it's an illusion.

it is there to distract you.

it is there to challenge you.

don't let the rain win.
