Ember G Writes

Hey everyone, I hope you are doing well. I’m back with another post. My life has significantly slowed down, its a few more weeks until the Summer break and I am just so ready.

Initially I wasn’t going to write today, I was intending on doing a few jobs around the house and that would be it. However a storm has started, the sky is a murky grey and I love the sound of rain.

The thunder is loud and rattles my house, its right above me. I lit a candle, made a hot drink and opened a window to just pause and listen. As I’ve been sitting here I got the urge to just write whatever.

The weather always seems to bring out my creativity. I had music playing as I was doing small jobs around the house and it just enhanced my urge. I had an itch and had to scratch, or well write. It’s been a really long time since I have sensed this itch.

I was taking down some photographs and the the storm started, I’m surrounded by photographs and memories from different years. The changes in my life have made me really reflect.

I have changed a lot, my friendships have changed, some have gotten deeper and others have moved on.

Yesterday I was walking through trees, the sun was high and bright, the sky blue and clear. In a matter of hours the weather changed, it is no longer sunny, it is raining and the sky is dark.

Even with the changes, the weather is still beautiful.

As I have mentioned I struggle with my mental health, the past couple weeks have certainly not been easy for me.

I have just felt an intense loneliness, maybe its all the changes or the end of term looming closer. I’ve been tired and today I am feeling less tired, maybe its the free weekend I have or maybe the extended lie-in.

As I sit and write I am enjoying the silence around me, the rummbling thunder, a distant siren, cars passing by and a gentle drip of rain. It’s peaceful and thought provoking…

I’ve missed being able to just sit and write out my thoughts like this.

I don’t have an aim for this post, I am not meeting some sort of schedule.

I’m just sitting and listening.

Thinking and resting.

It’s nice knowing I can relax and take my time.

The rain has intensified and the thunder is louder. Our lives can be like the storms and the weather, always changing and unpredictable.
