my mother used to tell me that the rain was for the lonely, and that the ocean waves were where virginia woolf drowned her misery with rocks in her pockets. as a little kid i didn't think to wonder how it could be possible to be so immensely sad, and then i met someone who taught me about the different colors of the sunlight, someone who loved those same miserable waves that i hated so much.
