Dec 2013

a couple years after my journey into darkness and death. Out of the corner of my eye I could see her staring at me rather oddly. She probably was just concerned but I "saw" something else.

I think we read into things. I've gotten to the point where I really don't give a fuck what anyone thinks about me. I can count on one hand how many people I feel comfortable talking with and still have 4 fingers left.

There will always be a prevailing stigma. It sucks.

I think you misunderstood my point. Locut0s Dec 2013 #5

No. I think it's mostly the same argument HereSince1628 Dec 2013 #6
