today was a fairytale.

i could not have asked for a more perfect day. i woke up to wet roads, and fell asleep to the soft pattering of rain on my window. no music tonight. just soothing and refreshing rain. this city is so dull and polluted, that its impossible to stare up at the stars at night. but when it rains, we finally have stars. they are like diamonds that fall from the sky and splash my face with their beauty.

even though i won't be listening to music while i sleep, a new taylor swift song came out today, which made it right to the top of my list simply with the title: today was a fairytale. her story describes the perfect date with her perfect guy, which i can image does make her feel like a princess. but for right now, my idea of a fairytale life just includes: a small town where it rains every day, a fog-smeared ocean, thick forests (on land and in the water), a few best friends who enjoy life just the same as i do, and a place i can be alone at some point and enjoy music and fish and my thoughts. what is this place? southern california. and not your stereotypical LA setting where there's movie stars and flashy lights. i'm eager to find the socal that's hidden underneath all the labels and has beauty that can't be portrayed on the cover of the september issue of Vogue. i want nature.

i hope the rain continues for the rest of this week, just like it's supposed to. and when it stops, i'll play it's sound until it returns again. out of all the simple things i love, rain has to bring me the greatest joy. it can never arrive at a bad time. it is always welcome to me.

"just know i'm right here hoping that you'll come in with the rain."
