Dear Diary, usually i like the rain, but yesterday it made me feel bad. i think the lack of sunshine has affected my mood, plus the anxiety i mentioned in my last post. i didn’t feel depressed yesterday, maybe just a touch of gloominess.
i like the rain usually. i like when it brings out the snails and the slugs. i like to hear the frogs croak during a shower. i like when i can see mold growing on the ground and the occasional mushroom pops up afterwards. i like how the grass is cool and damp on my bare feet after the rain. i like the peaceful background noise a distant storm brings. i like the small cold shocks on the skin when a droplet lands on me. i like the primal feeling of sitting in the rain, and i like the warm feeling of a shower after i get too cold and come inside.
the rain is a nice thing. i love it dearly. sometimes the things we love make us sad every once in a while. that’s okay, i still love the rain.
