Pain is weakness leaving your body.

I appreciate the few little notes I've received asking where the hell I've gone and what the fuck do I mean by disappearing like this for days and days at a time. But while sharing my current difficulties would no doubt make ME feel better, it won't do a thing for anyone else, except perhaps for those who take joy in others' suffering, and they're likely too busy parboiling puppies to notice. (Don't roll your eyes like that, it's unattractive. You know who you are.) Suffice to say I'm alive and writing, which isn't the same thing as "alive and kicking," but it's close enough.
