I confess...


I don’t know why but I’ve always liked rain. Storms. Thunder. Lightning.

Give me all and I’m a happy girl.

In the movies, you have scenes where the protagonist – who likely has just broken up with her boyfriend or found out her boyfriend has a rare and deadly form of cancer/parasite/disease – sits, hugging her legs to her chest, on a window seat, gazing soulfully – why must it always be soulfully? – out the window, where rain droplets streak the glass.

You see, my dirty little secret is that I want to be that girl – well, I actually don’t mind not having a boyfriend but I DO want to be that girl, sitting on her window seat (which I’ve never had) just staring out at the thunderstorm.

You know what? I think I envy her because of her loads of free time. I mean, if you’re in university, do you really have time to do nothing but stare out a window, no matter how beautifully rain-washed?
