Despite having the same "name", there is a big difference between a physical rainy day and a mental rainy day. As we get closer and closer to winter, we actually can't wait for actual rainy days to start. Our mood is instantly better when we get a chance to get cozy, make ourselves a hot beverage, and look outside the window and watch as the world shifts under the crying clouds. It might have a gloomy exterior, but rainy days always make us feel much more relaxed and calm, and always help us feel better.
A mental rainy day, however, is a different deal indeed. It could be scorching hot outside, the sun is shining, and the birds are singing, but the total opposite inside our brains. When it's raining in there, we feel like it's impossible to think, impossible to socialize, and worst of all, impossible to laugh. All we want to do is curl up in our beds and never leave, but for the exact opposite reasons from when we do it on an actual rainy day. It's a confusing state, truly.
So, a mental rainy day calls for immediate mood boosts that are here to ensure we don't drown in all the rain, even if it's just inside our minds. If the little drops of rain on our window are enough to make all the bad stuff go away, we must find a way to feel the same regardless of the actual weather outside. That is why we like to prepare little kits for rainy days, a collection of funny posts, memes, and jokes that help us quiet the noise in our heads and focus on the world that is waiting outside. And with the years of experience we have from collecting memes, we have learned that Tumblr is a great source for an instant mood boost. The posts on that silly site are the perfect combination of funny, unhinged, and wholesome, just as the collection of Tumblr posts is below. Save them all for your next rainy day.
