how to beat the rainy day blues

Option 1: Take the day for unapologetic solitude. Sleep late, re-read your favorite author, fill an empty canvas, write your feelings without filters and bask in the drip-drop melody hitting your window.

Option 2: Remember that water won't melt you. Explore a new market with an old friend, get drunk from an irresponsible amount of afternoon drinks, and take advantage of the rare peace that rain can bring (maybe at an iconic spot typically crawling with tourists, but for this moment — empty). Bask in the drip-drop melody hitting the top of your head.

I love both options, but this day, I took option 2.
