Anyone who has spent a few nights in a tent during a storm can tell you: The world doesn't care all that much if you live or die.

Day 17 - Perfect Storm
Day 16 - Love
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine
Day 14 - Ice Cream
I've been away for a while. I've been horribly preoccupied with things and working 6 days in a row.
I'll upload a few now so I can try and catch up.
