Tästä On Tulossa Kriisi -Suomitumppu Help?

You don't have to die to get to Hell you know...

When you texted someone as a kid actually wanting to have a nice chat, but the other person just didn't care..

I made these pride-colored versions of my avatar and then almost forgot to actually use/post them anywhere 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

I liked you better when you were straight

Excuse me..? That literally never happened?

   I don’t know if I should laugh at- or be offended by this

tags to reach, tags to file (even if The System only makes sense to you) & tags to scream -not like on the post, but On_the_Post can, and do coexist

How could I heal the Earth,

When even the inside of my head is so sick, I can't do anything about it,

And most of the time, don't even want to?

And yet, I try my best,

'Cause the Earth is not to blame

For the sickness of mankind.

Humanity itself

Can destroy anything.

She seemed intoxicated, only rather by exhaustion, than by whatever laced the cigarettes she'd rolled up that morning. One was just about to go out between her fingers. I took it from her, inhaled it back to life before tossing it onto the ground. It was weed, at least a third of it, tho the filters she used mellowed the taste.  She looked at the bud somewhat saddened. 'Seventeen', she said, drawing a little x in the air with her finger. That was way too many, but she'd been cutting back admirably for weeks, and today was a rough day.  I sighed. I swear, I thought, as who knows how many times before, if one more beloved soul leaves this wretched earth before mine, I'll cease.  I looked at her then. Knowing I could never intentionally leave her behind, I sighed again, took a seat & lit me one of hers. Enough time to be responsible tomorrow..
