Rain. Rain.

Don't go away.

Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain. - Anonymous


I thought this was fitting for how I've felt these past couple of rainy days.
Why?
Why not?
There is something familiar about rain. Nostalgia. Maybe it just makes me miss monsoon season in Vietnam.

I think perhaps the Melancholy has poisoned my soul.

These next few posts I fear will be uncomfortably depressing. Read at your own discretion; they are written only for me. I don't want to hear anyone's pity or anyone's reassurance. I already know it. Whether or not I realize it (there is a difference) is up to me, though that will take a bit of time. Please humor me and be patient.

Kitty: Oh, you're reading a book?
Laura Brown: Yeah.
Kitty: What's this one about?
Laura Brown: Oh, it's about this woman who's incredibly - well, she's a hostess and she's incredibly confident and she's going to give a party. And, maybe because she's confident, everyone thinks she's fine... but she isn't.
