Therealsecretmurderer - Lamia's Digital Diary

rip henry winter you wouldve HATED mobile phones and social media .

like seeing an ipad kid would genuinely give him an aneurysm

literally same stuff but.. it did have consequences lol

unfortunately i am a leaver... i left a required uni welcome event cus it was like 9am and i wanted food and i didn't want to be there. later that day i was forced into a small group with like 15 other freshmen and we were supposed to "build community" with ice breakers and shit and i just said "hey yall i have to do something real quick" and i just walked away and went home. i used to leave in the middle of class in high school and college ALL THE TIME .. there were consequences too i didnt gaf!!! unfortunately this means i have become the most avoidant person on the planet and if anything slightly annoys me (including people) i will walk away without saying a word... oh well! if it sucks hit da bricks!!!!

I didn’t like having to explain to them, so I just shut up, smoked a cigarette, and looked at the sea.

—Albert Camus, The Stranger

my life philosophy is that u need a Crush and an Enemy in every environment. this is the only way to deal with work school etc.
