Everyone Ran. I Stayed for the Rain.

It started raining just as I reached the Tower of London. Most people bolted for cover, clutching their tickets and cameras, annoyed at the weather ruining their plans. I stood still, water soaking through my jacket, and took a photo. I’m not sure why this picture matters to me. Maybe because it’s proof I didn’t run from discomfort for once. Maybe because the empty courtyard looked better in the rain—like the place finally belonged to itself, not to tourists. Sometimes the best thing you bring home isn’t a story about what you saw, but about what you let yourself feel. #Travel #TravelInTheRain #UnfilteredJourneys
