Narrator:
One of the reasons we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness.
1/2/3:
Im filled with chaos, there's nowhere else to run.
I gave the wrong people the right pieces of me.
I lost count of how many times I cried myself to sleep.
1:
Everyone in this world wants an explanation, explanation for your acts, explanation for your very being.
I can't explain.
My minds a hurricane, as riveting as that may seem,
Im a prisoner of this vicious cycle of highs, and lows.
They consume me.
I dream of feeling better, feeling at home, feeling secure. but I just end up feeling smaller, more vulnerable, more prone to hurt.
I want my life back. my mind has taken over,
I'm collapsing. sobbing, screaming at the moon.

    Right from the start, our two essays approach their own topics in their own unique ways, using their own unique terminologies, and describing their individual weather event in drastically different tones. The first essay, What They Don’t Tell You About Hurricanes, starts off by declaring the uncertainty of a hurricane. The essay elaborates on the aftermath of a previous maelstrom that maliciously tore through the coast, initiating deadly lightning fires and horrendous floods.
