The colours are beautiful in winters

Going on a run in the evening, when the weather is shit. Usually the streets are empty, I feel the rain on my face, the wind. I can catch glimpses of cozy people in front of their TV, or in their kitchen and imagine them to be happy about the fact that they are inside in this weather. I also get happy thinking about returning to my couch, after a run the couch seems to be extra comfy and the food better. But before that I speed up to max out my capacity and the feeling of being alive, by getting extra soaked through, cold and exhausted. It’s great.

Originally wasn’t going to comment, but I get a very similar feeling being inside a car parked on a road during the rain. It’s an odd feeling watching someone walking home quickly through the rain while you sit in another dark car, dry and unnoticed.

Sounds really similar. I also like that :) Maybe it’s the feeling of being absent from the world, like a small “Stop” Button. I don’t know.

I was raised in a place that gets a lot of rain back before kids got driven everywhere. If you wanted to go anywhere, do anythng like camping or whatever, you had to be ok with rain.

One of my favorite things was getting home soaked and cold, getting changed into dry clothes, and having a nice cup of tea from the pot that was always waiting under a cosy. Such a wonderful feeling.

Somewhat adjacent feeling, but being out in the snow, especially in a deep blizzard. Different feelings if you are out in a town/city or out somewhere rural.

I love the snow though. I don’t usually get sick of it quickly.

I don’t smoke, but I like hanging out with people who do, because it gives me an excuse to go outside in the Wintery cold for a brief and clearly defined chunk of time. I like the sharpness of my skin almost as much as the soothing respite of returning inside.

I also love snow and snowstorms. Had one time where I walked to work in a snowstorm because public transportation was not an option anymore but as I was working in a hospital I felt obligated to come.

It was wonderful being this alone, guess I crave it. Unfortunately we do not get much snow anymore where I live.

By shitty weather I thought you meant the shitty weather I usually have here (30 to 38 Celsius on average) yeah I wouldn’t mind the rain (even when it can be risky) but running with my shitty weather hell no.
