I cannot just try to wrap my head around it when someone say they like the heat/dry season because it is so annoying just after taking my bath, dressed up in clean outfit, and I start sweating before I settle down. This is one of the things people do complain about the two major types of seasons we have over here. And for the past couple of weeks, have been experiencing that which shows that dry season is getting closer.
And lately, that is what the heat has been using my eyes to see. Sometimes, after taking my bath and feeling refreshed, only to dry my body with my towel then I start feeling sweaty again.
Out of the two major seasons we have been experiencing her, for me, dry season is that hardest. It is not that I do not like when the sun shines or everything that comes with it because as humans, we need sun. What I just struggle with is the heat that comes with it which follows me from the outside of my room. Even when I am seated in a place, I can easily get uncomfortable trying to change my position to get the cooler part of the chair or directing the fan towards me even when all the windows are wide open. Periods like that usually make an ordinary day or night feels unnecessary longer than it should.
And also, during this period, I always try to postpone errands because of how sunny it it, I drink water than necessary, and always searching for where there is shade to avoid sunburn due to my body type. A short walk can feel so exhausting even before I start what I want to do. Sometimes, the heat can make me impatient over just like things.
And that is my I love the rainy or wet season because of all the comfort that comes with it both physically, mentally and outwardly. Before the rainfall, I love the cool breeze that makes everything calm and the smell of the wet atmosphere after the rain, the sound of the rain drops beating the roof, and just how the air after feel so soft. During this period, I always see how my surroundings is kept clean, the grass around appears greener, no sweating for me and sleeping comes at ease at night without me changing position often to get comfortable.
When the heat is getting out of hand, i am always picky with my outfit, I drink a lot of water to stay hydrated, I try to avoid some kind of movement and always open all the windows for ventilation even when it blows hot air. I also remind myself that the weather will change; I do not have to fight every uncomfortable afternoon. And as for the rainy season, I will not say it does not have its own trouble because there are some periods it causes flood, it rains non stop even when I plan to step out, it can cause unnecessary delays . But nevertheless, I always enjoy it without rushing myself.
And when ever rains is about to fall or returns after a sweaty and hot period, I always pay attention to how my body relax before my mind catches up with what is happening. And maybe that is why I am in love with the wet and rainy season a lot. It is not that it changes my life completely. What it does is simply to make being inside my own skin feel easier.
