🌩 weathering (beda day 27)

26. weather inspires/hinders?

i think weather definitely affects my mood. i'm not sure if it's the same for other people, but my levels of productivity and happiness are heavily influenced by what the weather is like.

i like sunny days. they're good for getting motivated and chasing dreams. plus a good dose of sun gives a nice warm/fuzzy feeling. today's not a sunny day. even though i'm in hawaii. crazy, huh.

i like rainy days. they're good for introspection and being emotional. earlier when i was writing this post there was some nice tropical rain. then the text got deleted somehow so now i have to rewrite everything. i'm mad.

i fricking hate cloudy days. they just make me feel listless and demotivated. nothing new there. right now the weather's cloudy and i'm irritated for reasons that aren't necessary to discuss. having to rewrite this post isn't helping either.

then there are the weird-weather days that aren't super common where i live. mega-windy days usually just annoy me because they make it hard to fall asleep. snow is nice but makes me afraid of slipping and dying. hail just hurts. thunderstorms are hecka rad, but quite rare.

all in all, i think sun and rain are my two favorite weather patterns (and representations of my two moods, no less). i was pretty happy while it was raining earlier, but now i'm ticked off. and the rain stopped. how coincidental. now if you don't mind, i'm gonna take some time to stare at the clouds...

update: have calmed down now. the segment above probs came off as quite brusque. sorry about that. i have a lot of unresolved moop that i need to work out...

anyway, i want to make one last note about the weather before i close off this post. you can't control the weather, but you can control how productive you are during a subjectively good weather day! if thunder is your thing, use the next storm to take charge of your next writing project! if clouds are your thing, use cloudy days to make your thoughts unclouded! if sun is your thing, brighten up your sense of well-being! mother nature is about as finicky as they come, so take your blessings as ya go!
