Drew Barrymore laughing in the rain, it's a moment of pure joy

The Internet, famously dominated by division and pessimism, has finally found something to agree on: Drew Barrymore laughing in the rain is the best content ever.

The actress and talk show host posted a video on Instagram of herself laughing hysterically while soaking wet from the pouring rain. Big "Singin' in the Rain" energy.

In the video, Barrymore says, "Whenever you can go out in the rain, don't miss that opportunity!" she tells her fans, and then laughs some more.

It really is the funniest thing out there right now, and people acknowledge it as such.

"I don't mean to exaggerate, but I know Drew Barrymore thought she was going to die young.

"Drew Barrymore is how you act when life doesn't knock you down. That's Pisces power," someone wrote.

All over social media, people are pointing out that Barrymore's recent extreme joy over trivial things is no coincidence. One person wrote, "The answer to 'why Drew Barrymore is the way she is' is literally 'because she had a delayed, traumatic childhood marred by addiction and neglect, and then went through a lot of therapy and self-work and became more grateful/aware than most people,' everyone I know," he writes.

The context there is that the star grew up with an alcoholic father and a mother who was never really there for her; shortly after she became famous on ET, her mother took the then 9-year-old to a place where she tried drugs. She went to rehab several times as a child. Her mother then "institutionalized" her; at age 14, she left the facility, was released from her mother, and became a legal adult.

Asked at that age if she could imagine her life being beautiful at 40, Barrymore told The Guardian in 2015, "Half no, in that I was so scared of not knowing where I was going, of dying at 25. I was terrified. And half yes, because I had the sense that no matter how dark it got, there was always going to be good. I was never going to go dark. I could do a lot of things that would push me over the edge, but I knew I would never go there."

Yes, she would laugh in the rain. And I think we all owe it to her to do the same.
