Raining VS. reigning.

It poured today in sunny Lakeland. When I say "poured" I mean it. I had no idea that the sky had that much water inside it. It rained all day yesterday and most of the day so far... My problem with all of this is the simple fact that I'm never fully prepared for any kind of precipitation. I don't do well in snow, I've never experienced hail, and I am always soak by the rain. With out fail, I always get wet.
As I was getting ready today I purposely wore jeans I could cuff up (because I hate having the bottom of my jeans soaked), and light shirts that I knew would dry quickly... And plastic sandals. <-- mistake number 1. I looked kind of decent until my medium washed denim pants got soaked and turned dark blue and my orange short got wet and turned -wet orange. Lol. The worst part of all of this was my plastic sandals. They're cute. They're glittery. They're my favorite pair. They have no grip at all. So as I was walking and the torrential rain became as common as my left hand, I started slipping and sliding. I lost my shoe only twice before I decided to take them off and walk barefoot to my class.

Upon arrival, I had dirty feet, wet pants, soaked shirt and a bad attitude.

After reviewing my trek from one side of campus to the other, I started to think to myself, what about reigning? (yes, I meant that kind- reign not rain) for me personally, I have a BIG dream ahead of me. But how often do I complain about my "wet pants" or my "dirty feet"? What do I mean? I think that most of the time, I am bothered by things that seem like they have no sense or have no substantial role to play in my future. Why? Because I don't ever want to put in the work and experience the sometimes "negative" parts of life. I, more times than not, want things handed to me. But today it hit me, "sometimes before I can reign I might have to go through some rain."

It's nothing profound today folks, just my simple thoughts. :) I hope you enjoyed.

Discovering my dreams,
