I have missed all the interpretations it once spat on the corner of my lip P4

When do you need to upgrade your reality lenses? I was due April 21 2022

As a young man I hope to find love within our morally dissolving generation and I am met with free trial subscribers hunting for a quick meal

Fair enough

As there's still a lot I wish to learn about myself but don't bother as I have seen most outcomes breed beasts I can't contest with

However

I enjoy the simplicity of wanting more out of myself

I use the gym as an excuse of building mental resilience

Honestly I want to be desired

I use investmenting in stocks as an excuse of building generational wealth

Honestly all I want is the access money provides as a broke man has no voice nor is he respected

So I have missed all the interpretations it once spat on the corner of my lip but that's my reality now

Who knows what lies ahead besides the consequences I am will to brace through for the vast pastures I wish to water
