Rain Forever

 It is currently torrential downpouring outside. I am sat at my desk, with just under half an hour to go until work starts. This is not a rant or a therapy piece of writing. This is just me declaring that I wish it would rain constantly every single day for at least the rest of the year, maybe even forever. Everything is better on rainy days. There are less stupid people out walking. No noisy people running, trying to trip people over. Parks are empty. There’s no screaming kids. Even the drug addicts don’t beg you for money to continue funding their habit. It isn’t as fun getting my daily exercise in the pouring rain and I hate the texture of wet clothes, but I think there are a lot more positives that if it were hot or sunny. Dear universe, please, can you make it rain every single day for the rest of the year. I do think that the greenery and wildlife are in need of a lot of water as well. Alternatively, if we can make it illegal for people to be noisy, disrespectful, rude and just congregate in public places that would be much appreciated. And no to whatever stupid bot is reading this, I am not being 100% serious, and I do not think that by asking the universe to do something for me that I have almighty powers and think I am better than everyone else or whatever rubbish nonsense people are going to craft from a harmless little note of me saying that I just like the rain right now and I wish that it would continue. Gen Z and bots just don't understand whimsy writing - nor do some thirty-something-year-olds who really do act like Gen Z - ugh!
