It's Gonna Rain

And right after my post, it rained! It started raining buckets! Good thing I got home early.

Speaking of rain, have you heard or known of the phrase "Rain on my/your parade?" Well, a lot of you might not know that it has happened to you. To have someone 'rain on your parade' is when someone utters something that will set you into a bad mood, especially when you're in a good mood. Kinda like when you're munching on raisin bread, only to be warned that what you're eating is actually week-old bread.

Yeah, not a very good feeling, isn't it?

Well, we sometimes do this without even knowing it. As much as we'd like to say something less hurtful, it always ends up that way.

And isn't it ironic that when something like that happens, it happens all at once. Like the saying, "When it rains, it pours...," a domino effect will happen when someone sets you off into a bad mood. It's as if everything doesn't agree to you. The whole universe is in conflict with you and that nothing you do or say turns out okay.

It's one hell of a ride, if you ask me. So next time you're going to rain of someone's parade, take a second thought. Maybe he/she needs a breather. Maybe I should take it easy on him. Maybe he/she's having a rough time already.

Think, before you speak.
