Have you ever waited for a storm to approach to bask in the moment? Example: When a big thunderstorm arrived, did you sit down by your window with puppy eyes and sing the most stereotypical heartbreak song you could think of, all while touching your window, lip singing, thinking about an ex that broke your heart? Then you might have "Dramatic Music Video Syndrome." Yes, the worst of the worst. The part where you slide on your knees while singing into your brush as you pretend that no one is watching. This is a message to let you know your friends are watching and whatever higher power you believe in is currently taking pictures and posting it on their divine social media accounts. There's nothing wrong with basking in the moment and watching your fellow humans slip and slide down the road and then posting it on Snapchat with the tear eyed emoji. However, if you find yourself singing "Too Little Too Late" by JoJo while the rain touches the glass ever so slightly with the one teardrop, you might be suffering from "Dramatic Music Video Syndrome."
Here are some symptoms you should be looking for:
1. Snowy illusions.
If the front of your house looks like this:
But you see this:
And you find yourself singing this song:
If you are seeing Olaf everywhere and have a sudden urge to build a snowman despite how unsafe it is to go outside, all while swinging your hips with Elsa's amount of sass, please consult your nearest Netflix account. I recommend that you take 500 milligrams of any horribly directed summer movie you could find. Side effects may include a sudden urge for the warm feeling of the summer sun and your sad inability to ignore the frostbite on your fingers.
2. Bawling cloud appreciation
Have you found yourself looking outside the window as it rains like this?
And started singing this song?
Or maybe even this one?
Do you find yourself trying to stop yourself from messaging your ex and remind them of what they threw away? Did you slide on your knees at least once during the extended notes of the song? Then you might have "Bawling Cloud Appreciation." It all starts with reminding your ex that they are not "irreplaceable" and that they are "Too Little Too Late" and you have moved on to bigger and better things, like dinner dates in fancy places (by yourself).
