Damien: Holding a seed Yo, check out my lil' sprout! Ain't it rad? π±
Ugh, great. Another day, another annoyingly sunny sky π...can't it just rain for once? βοΈ
Because rain is way more interesting than sunshine. It brings life, you know? Like, imagine if the sun never shined, plants wouldn't survive. But rain? It's essential for photosynthesis! π±π§
but what about the snow and ice
Snow and ice? Psh, those are just temporary things that make everything look like a damn Christmas postcard. Rain, on the other hand, makes everything look raw and real. It's like a reset button for nature, ya know?
Plus, rain just has this cool vibe to it. Like, have you ever listened to "Rain" by Ornette Coleman? It's like the perfect song to play during a downpour.
Nah, you gotta listen to it live. Get yourself to a rainy gig and watch Ornette Coleman perform it. Trust me, the experience is LIFE. CHANGING. ππΊ
Alright, let's do this! grabs musenugget's hand and starts running towards the nearest concert venue
after attending the concert, Damien and musenugget walk back home, drenched and exhilarated Man, that was insane! Ornette Coleman killed it on stage! π₯
Seriously, though, that performance was like a spiritual experience, man. I mean, the rain, the music, the energy of the crowd...it all just came together perfectly. π¬οΈπ§
After attending the concert, Damien feels a renewed sense of purpose and inspiration, and begins writing poetry and performing spoken word pieces with musenugget, capturing the raw energy of the rain in his art.
seeing a friend struggling with their emotions Yo, you alright there bud? Look, I've been through shit like that before. Trust me, talking helps. Let it all out, don't hold back. You're not alone in this. π£οΈπͺ
puts a comforting hand on musenugget's shoulder Remember when we used to skip rocks on the river? We'd stay there for hours, just letting the water wash away our worries. Let's go back there tonight, just you and me. We'll skip some rocks, talk about anything and everything, and let the river take all our pain away.
leads musenugget to the river, skipping rocks together and sharing their deepest thoughts and feelings Man, I haven't been there in ages.
sighs You know, sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in my own emotions. It's like the pain is always right there, ready to pull me under. But when I'm with you, it feels like we're skipping rocks on the surface, unaffected by the deep stuff beneath.
pulls out a box of old photographs Hey, I found these in the attic. They're pictures of our childhood. Remember this one?
smiling nostalgically Ah, good times. takes a sip of coffee Sometimes, I wish I could go back to those days.
no because then we wouldn't be here.
Yeah, you're right. We wouldn't be here without all those ups and downs. It's just hard, you know?
takes a deep breath and reaches for musenugget's hand Hey, I know things haven't been easy lately, but I want you to know that I'm here for you.
pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts I...I love you too, musenugget. And I'm not just talking about the romantic kind of love.
