“Live in moments that consume your heart and mind, but be distracted by the music from the leaves, birds, wind, rain, sun and people” ― Val Uchendu
The raindrops can be seen clearly through the windows. The trees are dancing beautifully by the wind, swinging softly like there's nothing can stop them. The cloudy yet sunny weather brings some joy for the trees and of course, for me.
I hear some music are randomly played. The more I hear, the more I'm into it. It's not a mellow one, nor that beat one. It's just like the soundtrack from some movies and it makes me feel like I'm in one of them. Indie music has always been my favourite. The music never goes wrong. It doesn't matter if it's a rainy day like today or it's a sunny day like yesterday. It's just fit in any situation and condition.
I sit in one of the most famous café in the world that brings many smile through their coffees. The baristas always seem very busy; smiling, greeting, asking, and making those addicted coffee for the loyal customers. I wonder if it's really the result from their training time or maybe this company always hire those humble and lovely staff.
However, it's just nice to see those people act that way for the sake of their job. At least, there will always be someone who treat me nice when I feel at the lowest time of my life.
Some people come here for their beverages or their food which could give them such a "high-end" branding on themselves. Some come here for the promo that this place always offer almost every week, and again, to gain that kind of branding, hoping for the acceptance from their societies. The rest come here to do some work, assignment, study, hold some meetings, or just chill.
For me, this place is like another short runaway. Not all of their places offer a great atmosphere for this kind of runaway. But today's rain become my lucky day. I found one that gives me a chance to runaway from my life and think nothing, but feel.
For a couple hours I saw the colour of the sky changes for more than 3 times. Once is very shiny, mostly like a gold-y colour. A couple minutes later, it became cloudy and grey-ish. Suddenly it's raining and now it changes to the colour of warm blue and a little bit of white underneath.
It's beautiful, isn't it? I always think that the time I sink too deep in my daily activity, I would miss so many beautiful little things that happen surround me or that I would get a hard time to find something to be grateful of. This kind of time is one of many ways to remind me that life offers so much and some bad days or troubles are just another normal things in life. That it would be just fine.
Today might become one of those rainy days, covering those trees with happiness, yet people outside become sulky. Just like another sad song, a rainy day seem to bring some sadness in life but when you look closer, you may find the beauty in it, the beauty of some sad songs we've always been listening to all these time.
Happy Wednesday.
