Rain has always been my escape. I learned recently that it is due to rain releasing negative ions, when we are constantly surrounded by positive ones, and the effect is close to what antidepressants do. I get excited just by the smell of it before it pours. I get excited thinking about dancing in it. I find it hard to get to sleep without the sound of rain pelting on a window. Without rain I think I'd lose my mind. I wish it was raining.
