The Rain

For this whole week, the weather forecasts a lot of rain, something that I would assume most people are upset with because for the most part, the rain sucks. But in this situation, I love the rain. Now I'm not some gloomy depressing person that gets excited every time it's cloudy and it rains (although it's not that bad once in a while). The reason I am so excited for all this rain this week is because of my allergies, and i'm sure a lot of people who get them can agree with me. Allergy season this year was horrible, and it has officially gone on record as the worst allergy season of all time. In fact it was so bad this year that I actually had to go to the hospital, after much consideration as to whether I should or not, because I had difficulty breathing because of all the pollen.

Now some of you who are unfamiliar with allergies might not understand what all this rain means for allergy sufferers, and why I am so elated for the rain. Well basically, when it rains after all the pollen has been released, it washes the pollen away and makes it much more tolerable to be outside or have your window open. The rain is actually a small beacon of light during the suffering that many people endure during allergy season.

So even though it's gloomy and depressing out, just know that this rain is helping millions of people from their allergies right now.
