I considered myLot as my 'virtual community.' The only thing that makes me feel strange is how I can touch the heart of every myLotters. It seems it is hard to capture all the attention here. It is raining in my city right now. I suddenly remembered a friend of mine who always cry when it is raining.
Have you ever felt sad when it is raining?
How do rainy days make you feel?

As I remember before, this is a good virtual community. And capturing attention was easy before especially if the topic is one you can relate with. But I've been absent for so long, there must be some major changes.

@diosabella I agree. I also remember that it is a busy day when having notifications. I have not seen you for a long time. I am fine despite this pandemic. How about you?

It was just an idea. In reality, I cannot touch every soul in this world. Perhaps if I have done something big, I might offer something that can be useful to them.
Raining is one of my favorite weather. It is time for me to reflect on something and enjoy the cold breeze.

I love rainy days lol. In my childhood, I prepare paper ships and leave those in street water and enjoyed a lot.

This is a community! I like it here because we can read and get to know updates from other people and race.

I hate rainy days but the only time we get rain here in Jerusalem is in the winter. To me when it is raining that means that the cold will come or is here and that means if I have to go out I have to wear layers. I also suffer more in the winter from my rhinitis.

Mylot is indeed a virtual community where people can share their own thoughts and feelings. For me, I don't think you can truly touch the heart of everyone here. We all have different thoughts, opinions, and the like and that's what makes things interesting. What's important is the accumulation and sharing of knowledge to any heart that is open. With various wonderful topics you can share, you reach out as you can but not everyone will give an answer you are expecting - empathetic, sympathetic, etc. Some will point out another perspective, and some may seem to offend you but alas, it is a community of discussion so forcing your thoughts in others is ineffective to capture their hearts.
Anyway, the rain is a natural process of the earth cleansing the ground so I don't find myself feeling sad when it does. Nothing we can do about it if it rains, and I find myself enjoying a cup of coffee with a good book on my hand as I hear the pitter-patter of the pouring rain. Such a comforting thought. What about you? How do rainy days make you feel?
