This is kind of personal. It’s hanging in my hallway. The thing about love that a lot of people don’t realize is that it isn’t necessarily supposed to make you happy. It’s fun if being in love brings happiness, but…
Re: Solution

Whenever I tell someone that I have a girlfriend they almost always resolutely respond with, “How in the name of Hollywood Undead is this possible?” I can understand where this sentiment comes from. The people who know…
