"Now I will taste the fall and owe all my love to him". The nature of melancholy is one of beauty, and so is its language. Thus melancholy is my true artistic source. "You can't force a rose to bloom". The way I see it, patience is the only way to go, in order to survive in this world, and I do feel humble towards the changes cast upon me as I trot along.
