I dropped out of college, pretty impulsively
I tried basically every drug I could find & used RCs extensively (tbh prob got some irreversible brain damage)

life is a minefield; those that make it through have a responsibility to yell back to those just starting to cross about where the biggest dangers are, to guide them through a safe path, should they desire to choose it
