Seeing a rainbow in the sky. I know it's just sunlight refracting through the water droplets but it is so gorgeous. I still get like the dude from the double rainbow video years ago because I still feel that way.
Dude, like 3 weeks ago, i was on a long arse bike wide, and it started chucking it down. I had full gear on, so I stayed really dry and warm. But as I was heading home along a sunny fast speed road, I'm on for about 15 minutes doing 60mph. And there was just this rainbow. I caught it in the corner of my eye, and I smiled? Like, it was just joyous. I thought it'll leave soon. But it didn't. The entire 15 minutes, I was just looking at it. As someone who suffers from mental health issues, it was beautiful. A reminder that just because I'm not happy with myself or the way I see things. There's hope in nature. Humanity won't be around forever. But nature will be. And nature is, well, it's indescribable.
After a while, it turned into a double rainbow, too.
