Disabled Chronicles Definition Of The Day: Struggle Smoothie: That 1/2 of a sad banana, 2/3 of a spinach leaf, them 2 and 5/8th piece of strawberry, the whisper of pineapple you spoke into the blender pitcher, along with half your ice supply and the two drops of...
Human Kindness
Been feeling kinda bummed. Thinking about how things in my life have not turned out the way I imagined, despite how hard I try and push. So I headed out, to run some errands... I also stopped off and grabbed some eats. After my order arrives, the manager of the place...
