If you have stumbled across this article, then we share a lot in common. There’s a constant effort to look for something that’s been missing, but you’re not sure what it is.

My dear friend, there’s not much to worry about because I guess that I’ve finally found an answer.

A happy life is often symbolized by dawn in art. The rising sun is represented as a sign of a fresh beginning, a new life, and the light rejuvenating a soul. But for me, it was a cold and lonely evening.

It all happened today at around 5 PM when I finally decided to take a ride on my bike, as I had been feeling a bit low-spirited for days. My inner self mirrored the grey sky, and my emotions felt as cold as the wind.

Lost in my thoughts, burdened by the weight of tomorrow, I looked up to the sky to mourn. It might have rained, but I was dry. I could not remember the last time I saw a rainbow, but there it was, right in front of me, and I had not noticed it.

What a spectacular vista it was! Everything felt so refreshing. I could finally see the colours of hope painted in the heavens. The cool wind swept away the heaviness within me, the rustling of leaves tickled me, and the trees seemed to kneel in welcome.
