The exotic blooms send pleasant...

A jaunt into the mouth of feral woods to grow the most intimate connection. Eldritch whispers through the trees, let’s scare the boys with our smile. To grow the most intimate connection, fall upon the sword of a diamond mess. Let’s scare the boys with our smile, cat-calling and out of control tweaking.

Doubt is like duct tape so rip it off, never mind paper cuts and red welts. You toppled off your bike as a kid, always stood up again and rode on. Never mind paper cuts and red welts, wounds heal slowly as time passes by. Always stood up again and rode on. Why would you quit? You are...

Illuminating with an already dead glow, You still make an impact after all...
