You can feel it coming. The clouds slowly engulf the beautiful ray of sunshine towering over your smile after taking in the proper amount of Vitamin D. You just went on your first outdoor run since 'Nam and you even decided to do laundry. All of a sudden, a strand of your hair slightly rises at the slightest sensation of that thick humidity creeping into the air.
The sun is no longer smiling. Grasping for dear life, the sun is trying to stay afloat, preparing for the drowning of rain coming its way. You feel yourself beginning to move in slow motion, running to take cover from the storm coming your way. You watch as friends and loved ones get caught in the rain, as if turning into a Noir black and white while you run for dear life. They scream to go on without them and you do. But before you know it, that first drop of rain hits you right smack in the middle of your eyes and it's too late, you've turned into the gloomy rainy day-er just like everyone else.
Ah, yes. Rainy days. The most important days for our earth's survival. For us to be able to replenish our water cycle, feed the plants, bring moisture to the air. But all you can think about is how slow it makes you move and how miserable you feel on rainy days. What? You think that awesome downpour is gonna be like it is in the movie where your boyfriend magically appears from thin air waiting for you to run out and passionately kiss him under a tree?
Huge plot twist: It's not. If you have a boyfriend, he's probably sending you a snap chat talking about how he wishes you guys could snuggle but the rainy day is making you both way too lazy to actually make the move to the other person's place.
You spend the entirety of your day moping around and being sad about being sad. You're sad that you're sad, sad that you're friends are sad, everyone is freaking sad. Oh, how convenient. SAD is actually a disorder involving rain. It's called "Seasonal Affective Disorder" and its associated with that late Autumn/Winter/rainy day feeling. Like really? They couldn't have called it Rainy Day Syndrome? I digress.
The worst part is that on sunny days when you have so much work all you think about is how you wish it would rain on the days you have to stay in and do your work so you're not wasting a beautiful day. Shocker: when it rains you literally want to do nothing all day. The thought of even putting pants on strikes a nerve on a rainy day. Rainy days are meant for pants less netflix time everyone knows that.
But who cares. Seize the day! Get out there and smell the flowers that are soaking up that water and then run back inside because now your socks are wet and you're even more miserable.
