as i have gotten older i have come to know that nothing matters as much as the weather. it alters moods and sets tones. it chemically changes us. it is prevalent in all aspects of our lives from how we dress to the way our city's architecture is designed to the food we eat.
thunderstorms are my favorite thing. there is a monumentality to them. they are the thesis to some herculean epic. they are the exegesis of earth's tumult. they make me feel so contented.
go watch the next one please. watch it roll in and change the very air we breathe.

Currently in Seattle waiting for the storm to roll in. Window is wide open so I can watch and hear everything. I love storms so much

Everyone talks shit about people talking about the weather because there is a real discomfort with small talk.
While I could make a whole separate post about the function of small talk, humans care so much about the weather because it’s kind of a big deal to us!
Think of how much our natural environment plays a role in our moods and energy levels and overall health and well-being. Good or bad weather made a huge difference in our ability to survive and thrive, especially in a pre-industrial society without electricity or AC.
So yeah, it can feel a little silly to start so many conversations by commenting on how hot/cold it’s been lately, but given how sensitive we are to weather and our environments, it makes perfect sense that we’re all a little obsessed with it.

it's an essential part of the human experience?
people who hate talking about the weather need to go find wherever they misplaced their childlike wonder at the variance of nature

you have to remember that as urgently as you search for your family, they too search for you
