I was probably still drunk but I still had an amazing day because I woke up with my phone in working condition, my jackets retrieved, and a more solid grasp and semblance with the current state of affairs in my life. Hah, and I know that this sounds like such minute things but as my horoscope said: “Major changes happens...
and I regret not knowing when to put an end to all...
Get me out of this place, before I cause more damage, a small price to pay for building houses out of matchsticks; and when things get too hot, you’ve got me to blame for, every fire that breaks out in every lover’s name, so… Don’t forget, we’ve got unfinished business, stories yet to unfold, tales that must be retold, and I regret not knowing when to put an...
