why is it so?

if you know much about me, you know that i am usually a deep thinker, questioner and analyzer about most things, but there are definitely periods where i am even more so. nighttime, cloudy days and rainy days (especially if it’s cool or cold outside). but here i am again, wondering what it is about those periods that cause not only myself, but others as well to be in a more contemplative mood or state of mind? as the days are quickly growing shorter as we begin the 3-month long transition from summer into winter, i find myself pondering things more… entering in a different state of mind. i don’t know really, it’s difficult to explain. i’m definitely getting excited about the considerably shorter days, the start (hopefully) of the rainy season, and the cooler weather (well, this summer has been awesome in seattle after only get to or above 90 degrees two days the entire summer!). maybe this is also why i tend to be much more productive work-wise during the very early morning hours and at night as well as cloudy, rainy days… i can think more clearly. people that know me must really think i’m a dark person… liking the rain, clouds, night and listening to deep/dark progressive house music and living a very minimalist lifestyle. part of that comes from my overall aesthetic, but also my interaction with digital technology that drives me towards the techno-futurist lifestyle. who knows… i’m fine with it and enjoy living on the dark side.
