I've recently become obsessed with the RAIN! so let's have fun with this one. give me your best description of rain.. and not.. "the rain is wet". tell me how the rain makes you feel, what it reminds you of. tell me a story, let me feel your emotions, show me your thoughts. Let the rain speak through your writings!


Motivations.. prompts.. whathaveyou.
