Glad you like it!

If I make it through 15 seconds. Omg!

Not an easy time. Watch when working or digging a ditch. Unfathomable emotions sparked suddenly is detrimental to my psychic

[@nobleharvey9935]

I guess that means you're good? Yeah! I'm surprised myself. 😮 I don't even like your voice, it sounds fake and predatory. But you DID invoke real emotions. I'm torn. But I think I might have figured out how to accept this channel 🤔 on drugs with time to kill. Not me MOST of the time, however, I'll see you elsewhere 😏

[@casard5235]

I feel like a plant at the moment..... 😊

Please help me out here... all the stories except The Awakening I really enjoyed, but I just can't work out the end of this one and it's really bugging me...
