There’s that time when all is calm, and then it rains suddenly. It’s the worst feeling in the world because you didn’t plan for it, and it gets you so badly soaked. And then after a few minutes, the rain lightens up, and you’re there, still soaked, but now in a humid mess of weather. The weather the past few days have been like that, and its really been a pain to travel around. Even right now, it’s just raining, heavier than a drizzle, but less than a thunderstorm. Perhaps this is the best definition for Showers.
Typing on this JIS keyboard, I realise that I don’t know where the double quotation marks are. That’s pretty funny.
The sudden rain is the worst because its like someone throwing a bucket of water at you. You don’t have a change of clothes, and you’re there, drenched and just not feeling it. You were unprepared for the worst case scenario: getting completely soaked in seconds.
That’s the same feeling when someone does some last minute change on my time, or on my plans. It’s the worst case scenario happening, and I was completely not ready for it. You can’t really blame anyone else, you just have to embrace it. Embrace the suck and just move on. I hate it. I guess I’m really just talking to myself through this, because honestly I think that’s how I’ve been getting myself to deal with the past year of having random things to do.
There are ways to enjoy the sudden rain, to make the suck less sucky. I found some peace doing keyboards, some enjoyment making friends, and getting to talk with people. But there are days when it just gets so tiring, and I’m just not sure what could help the situation. It’s those days when life gets to a tough point .
And now, the sudden rain has become a heavy shower, maybe even a thunderstorm. No one plans for these things. They happen, and the people getting completely soaked are now just drenched. Walking around with their wet socks, wet shoes, and wondering what will be of their life. I don’t think anyone thinks of how rich and happy they are, or their investment strategies, or their 10 year plans, when they are getting stuck in the rain. They’re just like every other human at that point: embracing the suck, or trying to get out of the rain as fast as they possibly can.
