This is how we ask for help when the water is too high and too strong, our pride is gone and it doesn't matter who the help comes from

I knew something felt off about the universe the last couple days. If this is not corrected, I fear what the future will hold for all of us. If you love humanity and the natural order, make this right

I feel much more intelligent on Facebook, where I'm surrounded by mostly lunks. I feel like the kid in the back of the class, trying not to looks confused on this app

Since this is my first post, it would be best to be upfront and show a picture of the one I represent. She is the good witch, she is the spirit. I am a servant, I am a listener I'm thankful to have found this platform
