It's been nearly a month since I've written anything on here; I apologize for the unexpected pause, but the good news is that I'm finally back. I don't have a solid explanation for being absent, other than a lack of desire and creativity. It's been pouring in New York for the past several days. The windy rain falling horizontally and striking me in the face rather than my damaged umbrella. Apart from that, I don't hate the rain and think I enjoy it actually. I am fond of the sound of rain falling at night, especially when combined with thunder.
