the continuity of my moods

so I have a cold. it's not very serious. I make it seem like it's much more serious than it actually is. either because I am a wuss (probably) or because I like the attention (most definitely.) and today it is gray outside. and when I came down stairs this morning to go to work the streetlamps were still on and they were casting a glow off the pavement. it had been raining all night. and it was drizzling then. I like the weather to match my mood. it's like finding the right song to play on a 5 minute drive. it just needs to match. this idea of having my stimuli match my mood is the continuity of a mood. sometimes it can have a detrimental effect. if I'm nervous and there is continuity I might just stay nervous. but usually, when there is continuity I am happy. not necessarily because my mood is bright. but because my life and the life that surrounds me is in sync.
