i have goosebumps.12Please respect copyright.PENANA5UrIO1Jrfl
i want to fight someone. i don’t even know who. but i’m hyped.12Please respect copyright.PENANAaMZ6ZdQ698
“kill bill” came on and i almost texted my ex “good luck.”12Please respect copyright.PENANAPdgMfh2Orq
i didn’t. but spiritually, i did.
also: “dear god why do men” deserves a grammy for best emotional support.
