“If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” ---Dolly Parton
Journal #21:
Dolly Parton's quote is a metaphor for the struggles in life that must be dealt with in order to achieve a content destination. In life we are faced with serious and challenges that push us down into a contemplating state. Situations like, divorce, illness, death, heartbreak, bullying and so many other situations affect us whether or not we chose to express it. At time the pressure, the stress and the depression is too much to handle and is like being trapped in an inescapable tomb. In Parton's metaphor, she compares the distressing situations life faces us with rain. And just like rain, the amount and force of the situation varies. However after rain, comes sunlight and after powerful rainstorms comes something more beautiful than sunlight, a rainbow. As we face difficult situations we must remember that after rain comes a rainbow.
