I've burned mine at both ends. That's not good is it? Hopefully we be judged by the love in our hearts, Mrs Eve.

Love this Monoku as it paints a very real picture of life and it's cycle with so few words <3

This was really nice and thought provoking Eve. It is when we burn that candle at both ends that the result happens much quicker.
