Rainbow = Sunshine

A full day ahead of the workshop, for which I’m both excited and nervous. I was supposed to take a train, but I decided to take the next one because my friends could not make it to the previous one. As I was seeing my reflection in each door in the train passing by, the last coach of the train left in front of my eyes and unveiled a beautiful rainbow on a very cold winter morning. I realised that rainbows bring the same happiness as sunshine does. So I guess maybe next time if I have to compliment someone and say “You’re the sunshine of my life”, maybe I can say “You’re the rainbow of my life”. And rainbows are proudly worn by queer people, which includes gays, and gay means happy, and so does sunshine. That was a nice train of thought, unlike the train I missed that day.
