Never say anything ever unless it warrants interrupting someone. Got it!

Recently had a party at my place.

Had to pull this one 2 times, and I even passed on a few :/. Rip thoughts, you sure would’ve been interesting to me at least.

ive found this is far too stressful, so i end up being lazy and just listening to them
