*awkwardly scoots into the room* Hi. It's been awhile since I last sat and wrote, or felt confident enough to sit with my thoughts and write them out to you all reading this now. I haven't spoken on the phone in a long time (rather more so talks on discord and in text) and I've not been super active on social media in bursts, and it's okay. I needed it. It's been one hell of a last year and a half. I think I may have said something similar for some years, but I'd like to go ahead and just look at this one only.…

My shoes are squishy and soaked. I'm holding up the biggest umbrella I own and using my phone precariously like a flashlight. At 3AM, the sky is dark and pouring rain. I had peeked outside the stained motel curtains in exhaustion right before venturing out and spotted rain. It wasn't merely raining, it was actual torrential pouring rain!

That's not exactly what I'll be writing about, or rather, not specifically. I just want to share with all of you about my experiences while there, perhaps you'll learn something new or at least be entertained reading. For people who couldn't make it, I feel your feels.
