🌧️ Welcoming the Rain in Seattle

The weather shifted today—softly at first, with the gentle patter of drops against my window. I left it open, just enough to let the cool air and rain sounds drift in. It’s a rhythm I could listen to for hours.

Seattle is famous for its rain, and living here means you learn how to embrace it. You don’t run from it—you maneuver through the raindrops, hood up or umbrella in hand, knowing you can’t let it stop you.

As an empath, I find the rain grounding. There’s a calm that comes with each drop, almost like the earth exhaling. The sound is both soothing and centering, wrapping me in a kind of peace that’s hard to explain but deeply felt.

Seattle’s constant drizzle is why we’re surrounded by green year-round—lush trees, bright flowers, and thriving gardens. This city is a place where beauty grows easily, fed by the rain that others might find inconvenient. For me, it’s a reminder that life flourishes when it’s nourished consistently.

And yes, I love the rain—especially when I can listen to it from the comfort of home, without having to drive through it. Some days, it’s the simplest things, like an open window and the sound of rain, that remind me I’m right where I’m meant to be.
