You have everything you need to be happy but you just got to wait a little bit.’ I was thinking of him when I made it up.” Elliott Smith
“Place Pigalle” is the name of a place where I’ve been happy.“
Elliott Smith

“One of the first photos I took of Elliott was on the street here in New York. He lifted up the back of his shirt so I could take a picture of the cuts he had on his back from a fight he’d been in. …

There's a lady in my state selling a brand new TiLite wheelchair for stupid cheap...$300!!! Why do I have to be broke? It's customized for someone my exact size. Is this the universe taunting me? My brother-in-law can go pick it up for me if I could afford it.
My Venm0 is CaptK12 if anyone can help.
Here is the link to my GoFundMe.
