CHAPTER VI: GLORIOUS RAIN
“Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.” ― Douglas MacArthur
There is something about the rain that makes me feel calm. Personally, I can't imagine a life without the rain and the cloudy days; the only objects I feel missing are the lovely pine trees. This is my perfect personal depiction of Heaven on Earth.“Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.” ― Douglas MacArthur

Part II: August's Highlights
I received a job promotion because the guy/friend who recommended me left in the last week of August, and I kindly accepted the promotion. Therefore, I now work more hours than usual.In addition, looking back at the past helped me discover the reason for my sluggishness. My conclusion is that I love NYC very dearly. It gave me the best days of my life during my childhood before my life went downhill in puberty.
Although I know it's already in the past, my present self might still be attached to those far memories. Consequently, just last Sunday, I visited the street where I used to live as a kid, as I do a few times every year, and I don't have any words to describe the sorrow I felt that lonely night after work at 2 am, especially after July's emotional rollercoaster.
This can explain the reason why I might not want to make any massive progress that can get me closer to my dream state. I hate to say it, but it needs to be said. Since I got here alone 3 years ago, I fell into the trap of building a somewhat comfortable place with things to ease the pain I experienced in my parent's hometown.
However, I can't let any brick wall stop me in this maze. Moving on, I self-destructed my blog with its 100+ articles and 2 spreadsheets that weren't producing any favorable results. I'm currently readjusting depending on the results of September in case more self-destruction is needed and adopted a new strategy to implement.
To end with this monthly update, I also uncovered another truth about myself that I wasn't able to see up until a few days ago. I'm still hesitant if I should talk about it in the next monthly update or not. Whatever the case, I wish y'all an excellent month.

What I do obviously doesn't apply to everybody.
I might've or may give advice by accident or request only, or until I become a Legendary Contributor, this is the reason why I'm currently only active a couple of days here every month. Thanks in advance!
