Weather is Weird
Trigger Warning: This mentions school shootings.
Something I've always wondered is if there's a deeper meaning to weather. I know that in books it can foreshadow things and that rain often doesn't just mean rain; it usually means something bad or sad is about to happen. Is that just a literary device, or does it hold true off the page?
What got me thinking about it was actually the shooting. Well, not the shooting, but the day after. You'd think the weather would've been all rainy and snowy and gross, but it was the opposite. We had our first 50-degree day I think since winter started. It was a little sunny. It was almost like the weather was invalidating our feelings about the event, rushing us into moving on. Or perhaps it seemed even crueler; it was seeming to act like nothing happened at all the day before, like evil didn't traumatize an entire community and take the lives of three innocent young adults.
Today is the rainy day that should've happened February 14th. It's two weeks late.
Why?
All I want to know is what it means.
Mother Nature, what are you trying to tell us?
That it's over? Because it's not.
It'll never be.
