Shownotes
Delving into the complexities. Of car maintenance, and the hidden costs that surprises many vehicle owners. We shared our personal moments. It's about the unexpected expenses, like Dave's convertible tops and tire replacements. Illustrating the broader theme, of financial surprises in everyday life. Opening the discussion up to bigger societal and political reflections. Where we mix humor n' insight. Being french critique's for a moment. Hearing the political speeches, and the confusing repetitive banter. Often found in modern discourse, and holy shit the lizard people are real!
We transitioned (the non trans type) from personal financial woes, and oh vey's. To a lively discussion on current political figures, always a blast. Enjoying a spirited debate on the impacts of political decisions on our daily life's. Throughout the ole' episode, the intercourse... I mean interplay between personal experiences, and broader societal issues. Invites all to reflect on how the personal is often political. Hey, were here to offer a perspective. Possibly an idea worth listening to, all you got do is sit back light it up, and get groove'n thru the experience.

See, I can't even really see if that actually makes sense. And like, I usually like shit like that. That's like, I don't if it's just that like her inflection is wrong when she says it, and so it doesn't have any meaning or what it is, but it's, oh, it cracks me up.
04:26.74
lostinthegroove
Here's here's here's a real here's a real
04:30.10
hello sunshine
like To me, that's the epitome. like That right there is the epitome of what we are dealing with, is like just this kind of
04:41.42
hello sunshine
kind of human that just spits out I mean I can just imagine her as like my boss you know like she's the CEO of the company and she just walks around and she orders her fucking Chinese chicken salads and she just like she's just a dumb bitch and she leaves early

05:28.07

06:21.95
lostinthegroove

06:26.49
lostinthegroove
And it's a...
06:32.86
hello sunshine
She'll be like, and I lost all this weight, and everybody's so happy for me, and everyone should be healthy like me, when it was really just Ozepic.
06:44.59
lostinthegroove
that was literally the thing that saved all the souls like literally it is okay well i'm not the thing about me is like i'm not a republican like i am a hardcore libertarian as a
06:51.67
hello sunshine
I just want to talk shit about her, not because I'm a Republican, but because I don't like authority.
07:09.28
lostinthegroove
like thought process wise, like I don't affiliate with any parties. But the second like you start talking shit on Camelot, it's like, okay, you're immediately a Trump supporter.
07:13.92
hello sunshine
Yes.
07:20.12
lostinthegroove
And it's like, look, right?
07:20.48
hello sunshine
Yeah, I'm not.
07:22.84
lostinthegroove
I like I like Tulsi Gabbard in ah RFK and Elon Musk. more than I like Donald Trump. The only reason why I like Donald Trump is because Donald Trump has those people on his team.
07:38.25
lostinthegroove
So it doesn't make me a Donald Trump fan. I'm just a person that like, I like to believe in real people that actually do what they say.
07:52.45
lostinthegroove
Isn't that interesting, Carissa? Do what they say.
07:54.28
hello sunshine
Yeah. I think that a lot of people have trouble talking about politics with other people. um
08:04.87
lostinthegroove
It can be hard, I mean it...
08:06.80
hello sunshine
like It's like you and I, like we can talk about politics because we have talked about politics so much. like I already know how to not offend you.
08:19.57
hello sunshine
you know Like we already know each other pretty well. And so it can be really...
08:23.78
lostinthegroove
Yeah, but we can still have a conversation about like ah differences of opinion. We've had conversations of differences of opinion. we're We've talked about evolution and our different understandings of what el evolution is.
08:38.96
lostinthegroove
And like our differences is the understanding of like our future pertaining to which direction we're going. It doesn't mean that you're right and I'm wrong.
08:49.42
lostinthegroove
We could be both wrong or we could both be right. It doesn't really matter.
08:52.71
hello sunshine
well yeah those are like theories it's i think i said this on the last podcast that like it's kind of Like I find it really stupid for two people to get like in a diehard argument about something to do with like our politics because we only know what the media shows us.
09:17.61
hello sunshine
So like, how are you going to like diehard argue with someone about just what you've only been shown? Like, how can you like really stand behind it is what I'm trying to say.
09:25.58
lostinthegroove
the
09:29.91
hello sunshine
Like, it's just like, you don't actually know.
09:30.34
lostinthegroove
the problem The problem is the two-party system, okay?
09:36.14
hello sunshine
Oh yeah.
09:36.20
lostinthegroove
I'm sorry. Having to choose between either Republican or Democrat, I personally feel, is non-democratic. We live in a competitive society.
09:49.50
lostinthegroove
We live in a competitive economy. It's like, dude, have competitive parties, all right?
09:56.08
hello sunshine
Well.
09:57.58
lostinthegroove
The same way that you treat businesses, the same way that this should be treated as well is like, everybody's got their opinions.
10:06.75
hello sunshine
The thing is that there really wasn't supposed to be like one party or two. um it what was What was happening is that there was just a whole bunch of individual people with individual thoughts.
10:11.25
lostinthegroove
No. wait
10:21.12
hello sunshine
This is what I understand to have happened. And what happened is like out of all those individual people, there was one group that came together and made themselves a group.
10:33.06
hello sunshine
Then after that group made themselves a group, which like back then they were called one party and now they're referred to as a different party or whatever. But that official group, that very, very first one,
10:42.10
lostinthegroove
which was Whig, yeah, was originally called ah the thing was the the Democratic Party, which originally was called the Whig Party.
10:49.62
hello sunshine
and they inspired you know an opposing group to happen. And ever since then, that is as far as shit fucking went. And I love like using like dumb stuff like that because like I teach all day and I can't just like be like, and that's how shit fucking went.
11:06.74
hello sunshine
you know like I don't get to say that, so it's kind of really fun to say it like here.
11:08.75
lostinthegroove
the the
11:10.94
hello sunshine
like I'm like,
11:11.26
lostinthegroove
there's so much there's so much that we can do but this whole conversation of like whose side you're on or like are you on left or right is stupid when you talk about like food
11:25.96
hello sunshine
You're not on either. No one is on either, but go on.
11:27.63
lostinthegroove
Yeah, right, right. like at that Exactly to my point, it's like what it pertains to the type of quality of food that we have, the type of health care that we have, the type of transportation that we have available to us as US citizens, like These are all things that have zero, zero to do with being Republican or Democrat.
11:53.00
lostinthegroove
They revolve around all 300 plus American citizens that live on this soil.
11:59.46
hello sunshine
The thing that always gets me is like I'll sit there and watch like because I try not to watch any of it but I'll see like stuff that people show me and I see ah ah like you know the debates and the interviews and like they're asking the opponents you know or whatever you want to call them um they're asking them their opinions on things so
11:59.87
lostinthegroove
It's that simple. ah
12:24.32
lostinthegroove
candidates Opponents yeah, that's a good word
12:25.77
hello sunshine
Candidates. Well, I don't know. They're competing against each other. I guess they could be opponents, but they're asking. They're asking them questions about things, and it's like they constantly just ask them questions about o the border and um just all this like current day shit.
12:48.59
hello sunshine
And it's like, honestly, before there was all the talk about immigration and the talk about the border and all that stuff, even when I was a little girl, there were still a lot of very important valid questions to ask the president. And none of those questions get asked anymore. All we talk about is just like the new the new shit. But like I remember when I was a kid, they were doing like some real politicking. They did not go that easy on Bill Clinton. like He did not just get to be like, well, we've been dealing with this. like No, he like had to like be serious. And I just have to say, I don't see any seriousness in any of these questions. like It's all just kind of like,
13:39.79
hello sunshine
yeah yeah like it used to be legit serious fucking business.
13:44.34
lostinthegroove
ah Okay agreed Okay agreed however to your point there are People particularly like when you take a character like RFK We're he opposes a question which a lot of Americans ask which is what is up with our food because we
13:45.56
hello sunshine
And now it's just like some show and tell shit of an interview.
14:13.78
lostinthegroove
To be honest, like there is a problem with the way that we make our food in this country. There are products that we have available in Canada that do not include the same ingredients that we include. We know that there are many countries pertaining into Europe that are moving to regenerative farming because they have seen the problems with even younger children health effects, among other problems, mental defects, and so on. So what is going on here? That is the question he's asking is like, shouldn't parents have the right to know that they're giving their kids healthy and safe food? Shouldn't people have the right to know if they are giving the proper food? And it's like,
15:07.24
hello sunshine
Well, how bad is it?
15:09.08
lostinthegroove
It's bad. It's really bad.
15:11.08
hello sunshine
I mean, what the fuck are people like giving their kids? like And they're different foods than when I was a kid.
15:15.62
lostinthegroove
There are dyes and preservatives that are added to foods that i have been now proven to cause cancers. They're known to cause chronic diseases.
15:27.12
lostinthegroove
They're known to...
15:30.73
hello sunshine
Like they've added different shit in there.
15:32.94
lostinthegroove
They've added more than when you were a kid, correct?
15:33.05
hello sunshine
and
15:38.38
lostinthegroove
There's been more added.
15:38.79
hello sunshine
weird because like we always used to talk about how like I mean they taught us in in junior high that like the macaroni and cheese isn't actually that color that they made it that color like same with like Doritos like and ah I mean they just taught us you know that kind of stuff in psychology too yeah
15:40.22
lostinthegroove
Yeah.
15:56.71
lostinthegroove
They add food. They add food does like red 40. I forgot there's like blue and then there's yellow.
16:08.12
lostinthegroove
I think yellow was like yellow 7, I don't remember all the...
16:10.53
hello sunshine
There's a part of me that just thinks like, government doesn't actually want to help you.
16:19.02
hello sunshine
You know, so like, what's up with this? Like, can this be real? What what is the actual agenda behind all this shit? Just to make you think that they care about you?
16:30.84
hello sunshine
Well, I mean, and they've never really cared about our health.
16:35.02
lostinthegroove
I... I again, I'm a very strong believer of small government. Because when you have small government, you get away from all of these problems. Because the truth is, it's always great to have a helping hand. It's always great to have like organizations like FEMA. FEMA is a really great thing that we have in this country. It's great to have organizations that help out veterans, that help out children, that help out um many different types of individuals. Like for example, they can't afford medications or prescriptions or things like that in those natures. We have all of those amazing things.
17:19.76
lostinthegroove
The issue that we run into, that we don't face, which is completely unrealistic, is the more we rely on Big Brother.
17:34.34
lostinthegroove
The more we sacrifice for ourselves, we can take care of ourselves on our own. We don't need them.
17:43.23
hello sunshine
I mean, a they've created scenarios for us that are like kind of like it's almost like we end up needing their help because of like the bullshit that they've created.
17:43.18
lostinthegroove
You need them sometimes not.
17:57.29
lostinthegroove
Bingo.
17:57.52
hello sunshine
I mean, ah if you don't think it's almost like kind of like we are their refugees in a way. Like when when we end up needing some type of like funding or like help
18:07.73
lostinthegroove
captured refugees to be more specific yeah and that's what it's there for that that is honestly what it is therefore it's there to help out when you don't have the money to pay for food and it it is a real problem that exists in this country many people cannot put food
18:11.01
hello sunshine
I mean, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I've I've been on the side where like you got to sign up for food stamps and shit because like, you don't have any money. um I also like.
18:38.31
lostinthegroove
on the table. I mean, let's be real, it's it's hard.
18:42.08
hello sunshine
I just, I've got learning disabilities, like, I don't know.
18:45.75
lostinthegroove
Same. I'm not the only one in my class that has learning disabilities, but I've been able to overcome them.
18:51.98
hello sunshine
Yeah.
18:51.99
lostinthegroove
You know,
18:52.30
hello sunshine
I mean, I do fine, but like, I think that that's why I like, why I didn't really, you know, like pull in a job that made me like, you know, a sufficient K a year to be able to like do what the people need to do to like live.
19:10.57
hello sunshine
So I always figured that was kinda why, you know?
19:10.49
lostinthegroove
i yeah I see that, and honestly, like I've seen like a completely... I just started ah taking the electric course in my school.
19:25.14
lostinthegroove
And what's really odd is like I worked for my brother's company, you know, you know what you're talking about. I was there for like three years.
19:31.83
hello sunshine
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:34.69
lostinthegroove
And the knowledge that I had there being around those technicians and seeing what they were doing and kind of like seeing how they were able to do like diagnostics and things.
19:47.65
lostinthegroove
That experience has allowed me like now in this class to have like, almost this guide because I can like physically like imagine myself sitting there as the technician at the technician board with the multimeter testing the logic board you know check checking the circuits and different things like I can physically feel that
20:08.91
hello sunshine
Yeah. Yeah.
20:14.04
lostinthegroove
What I'm getting at is that is a real thing that exists in us where we have those abilities to adapt and give more to our society. The whole thing about being American is we're in a really fucking cool country. We can be whatever we want to be.
20:36.76
lostinthegroove
do whatever you want to do. But you got to work for it. That's the thing. There's a lot of competition. It's really hard. But Yeah, hell yeah.
20:47.55
hello sunshine
I feel like everybody starts from different places. um I mean, so there's some people where like, you got a lot of shit to deal with before you can do whatever you want.
21:00.12
lostinthegroove
Oh, yeah.
21:03.16
hello sunshine
um
21:03.81
lostinthegroove
But like that mindset of where you have that freedom, like be who you want to be and be the best version of yourself.
21:11.91
hello sunshine
Well, personality wise, yeah. I just kind of feel like recently I felt like I'm working so much that like I don't really get to like be myself. And like I try to be myself like while I'm speaking, while I'm talking, like, you know, with my own personality and stuff like that. But sometimes it's just like, I'm not really like,
21:37.08
hello sunshine
I don't know, I don't wanna just be my work, you know? But I'm at my work like all the fucking time.
21:43.68
lostinthegroove
you know what i've You know what I've done? I like i have my um my colleagues like the and classmates where I've kind of befriended them and we've kind of become close and you know we kind of have a like a little group. We kind of like work together as a team. you know We figure out like,
22:07.50
lostinthegroove
spending time together, um sometimes doing things. I mean, I have a lot of schoolwork sometimes and like these classes and the driving is just there.
22:19.78
lostinthegroove
But what I appreciate the most out of it is like it just gives me a little bit of social life, even though I don't really, I don't really have any to be honest, it's just,
22:30.54
hello sunshine
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
22:36.20
lostinthegroove
mom, grandparents, school.
22:38.99
hello sunshine
yeah
22:39.72
lostinthegroove
Yeah, it's great.
22:42.90
hello sunshine
Yeah.
22:43.19
lostinthegroove
I'm doing great. Like, I'm great.
22:45.08
hello sunshine
ah Yeah.
22:48.90
lostinthegroove
How many times have I said great?
22:51.00
hello sunshine
I think a lot of people are like that nowadays where it's like you really just kind of have like three or four humans that you know. And that's it. I don't know, but i I do see some people who like go out in like groups and like have like you know social groups and like different stuff like that. But man, I don't see it as much anymore. I don't know. I certainly don't have it. I wonder what people think about that.
23:26.45
lostinthegroove
I don't know. I think there's ways of making it, to be honest. I think it's. People defy communities in different ways. You know, people think of like communities, they'll think of like religion or church. The way I think of like a community is.
23:48.56
lostinthegroove
It's a creepy door. um The way I look at it is is that like it's kind of create
23:51.73
hello sunshine
isn it
23:54.06
hello sunshine
It sounds like the sound effect of a door.
23:57.01
lostinthegroove
Right.
23:57.47
hello sunshine
Like if you were like trying to make the sound of a door, like it was so cliche.
23:58.00
lostinthegroove
I know look it. It.
24:02.72
hello sunshine
yeah
24:04.98
lostinthegroove
Oh, yeah, there you go.

lostinthegroove
No, what were we, what were we just talking about? Come on.
24:38.54
hello sunshine
I wonder if I try to take over the podcast, if it'll give you a drive to like be like, no, no, no, no. What I was trying to say was this. So.
24:48.00
lostinthegroove
No, I'm like, I had like a point. I had like, oh, a segue of where I was going. I just, I can't remember it. Um,
24:55.10
hello sunshine
Of course I don't.
24:56.38
lostinthegroove
Do you do not remember what we were just talking about? Do you? No, you don't.
25:00.88

25:01.42
lostinthegroove
You don't remember. Oh my God. I'm not alone in this to both of us.
25:05.67
hello sunshine
Well, because you just carried it over like to another thing.
25:08.39
lostinthegroove
to
25:09.48
hello sunshine
The worst thing, though, is that the listeners know, because they they don't have anything to do but listen to us. We get very distracted by by one another.
25:16.64
lostinthegroove
Right. So we have no idea. Right.
25:20.86
hello sunshine
We were just talking about the election and like what you need to do as a person. And I was just saying that like, I don't really trust them. And, you know, I mean, it's the same damn thing we always do where I just, you know, and you're like, no, no, no, it's it's worth your time.
25:33.08
lostinthegroove
Oh, now I remember, man now I remember, now I remember, now I remember, now I remember.
25:35.64
hello sunshine
And I'm like, no, it's not.
25:38.27
lostinthegroove
Okay, so I was talking about with religion and how like people think of the community as being like a religion or like, you know, yeah.
25:39.16
hello sunshine
There we go.
25:44.92
hello sunshine
Community.
25:47.63
lostinthegroove
But the thing I was thinking about community is like just like creating your own like social group. like Maybe it's like at the place you work at or the school that you go to or the once a week that you can go to like a meetup or something.
25:59.31
lostinthegroove
or that person that you know that you can hang out with from time to time, like your community can be as small as two people or even just one person.
26:08.71
hello sunshine
Yeah.
26:12.11
hello sunshine
Do you remember that song that was like...
26:14.76
lostinthegroove
Oh my God, isn't that amazing that I remember that? Do you know how many times?
26:17.57
hello sunshine
No, I do. I think it's amazing. I don't know.
26:21.31
lostinthegroove
Okay, yeah.
26:22.01
hello sunshine
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think that people are probably kind of lonely. um
26:27.16
lostinthegroove
so lonely i have nobody on my own yeah na na na na na na na na na na
26:29.20
hello sunshine
Yeah, so there's a song where she's like, She says that she's a lonely bitch. She's like, she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm a lonely bitch. That's the song. It's really good. um yeah Yeah, it's really good. So lonely. Yeah, no it's just a really cute song. But I think that people are lonely and that bitching about politics gives them a reason to speak with one another or gives them a reason to like interact
27:03.41
hello sunshine
Um, and so people want to like interact, but then they interact with one another about the politics because it's easy, but then they have like bad interactions with each other.
27:13.57
hello sunshine
So then it like ruins their taste of like interacting with people. So then it's very like counterproductive is my, my strange theory about political social lighting.
27:22.90
lostinthegroove
i I always say to strike to strike a great conversation. You always want to start with how you can be open.
27:38.48
lostinthegroove
you know, start with an open step to what you want to talk about. Don't be afraid. The truth is, is that the more you hide yourself, and even if you're wrong, you know, the worst thing that somebody could tell you is like, Oh, you're wrong.
27:52.81
lostinthegroove
And then you instead of snapping back at them and say, Okay, tell me why am am I wrong? Explain to me why you see what I mean?
28:00.42
hello sunshine
I get really yeah, I get it. But I get really uncomfortable telling people that they're wrong. um
28:06.35
lostinthegroove
but there's a way of doing it that's not like, you're wrong, you know? It's like, well,
28:11.36
hello sunshine
I need to tell someone else that they're wrong. I don't know what is wrong with everyone else where they need to tell other people if they're wrong or right.
28:23.08
hello sunshine
But it's not my job to like let a person know if they're wrong or right. Like I don't care.
28:28.92
lostinthegroove
But you can you can disagree with somebody like you can have different.
28:32.34
hello sunshine
But what for?
28:33.41
lostinthegroove
Well, people have different opinions, not everybody think.
28:35.61
hello sunshine
Yeah, but what for? Like, what is the actual purpose? Other than like, if you're trying to get to know each other better, or like, you know, but I really don't understand like why people need to disagree about it.
28:40.97
lostinthegroove
Do you?
28:51.57
hello sunshine
Like,
28:51.93
lostinthegroove
Okay, so the way okay, like I can give you an example, right? Take like, um let's just say you're talking about like a neighborhood.
29:07.39
lostinthegroove
OK, so somebody might say that, oh, you know, I like this neighborhood because I'm just giving you random examples. Someone might say like, I like this neighborhood because they have it's very safe, it's very clean and it's a nice environment. And you might say, well, I hear you. But the thing is, I disagree because it's very expensive to live there.
29:35.82
lostinthegroove
there's not a lot of businesses that are open that are near there. And for me, those are things that are important to me. So I wouldn't and want to live in a neighborhood like that.
29:51.04
lostinthegroove
You see what I mean? It's like you.
29:52.53
hello sunshine
I mean, I was specifically talking about politics and political views. Like I just don't, I don't think there's any reason to like go out of your way to disagree with people, but I think you're right.
29:57.20
lostinthegroove
But no, no, I was not.
30:03.70
hello sunshine
Like you definitely, people should share with people.
30:04.94
lostinthegroove
Yeah.
30:08.30
hello sunshine
I think like it, it ah it obviously depends on who you're talking to.
30:13.33
lostinthegroove
Yes, true.
30:13.44
hello sunshine
Like, yeah. Cause you you don't always need to explain to people
30:20.65
lostinthegroove
No. Yeah, and particularly with politics, the thing about it is I like to approach it with the most like clear, like throwing a dart at a board, like I don't know if I'm gonna, like, hit it bullseye, does it really matter to me? No. I'm just having fun. Plain and simple. That's it. For me, it's just a game of darts.
30:54.07
hello sunshine
I don't know. I feel like, see you your examples that you gave, like the second person is really talking about like an opinion as to like why it truly caters to the person.
30:55.91
lostinthegroove
Does that make sense?
31:08.07
hello sunshine
I think people get so caught up arguing about things that they they have no place in. Like something that has absolutely nothing to do with them.
31:20.56
hello sunshine
It's like if you and I were to get in an argument about Haiti. Like we don't actually have a place in that. Like it.
31:30.92
lostinthegroove
No, I mean, I know people that are from Haiti, but...
31:34.68
hello sunshine
I mean, once you like know a person like I know a human that lives in America that was born in Haiti, you know, like, but then it's like, I know like one human and I'm pretty sure she was like sex trafficked, like, but she never said anything about it, you know?
31:51.68
lostinthegroove
No, I, I don't think it's something you'd advertise. It'd be, you know, like imagine like you woke up some day and be like, Hey, I was sex traffic, by the way, just letting you know. And you're just like, what? What did you just say?
32:07.36
hello sunshine
I just feel bad for like, I don't know, because I know it's not like really what she wanted to do, you know, if that was the case, but whatever.
32:10.22
lostinthegroove
Yeah, but I, I, I, I, I, I would say like I usually pertaining to politics, particularly for myself.
32:23.39
lostinthegroove
This may sound strange, but I'll just leave it at this. I like talking to communist about um and about politics, particularly.
32:32.14
hello sunshine
Do you know what communists to speak with?
32:33.72
lostinthegroove
Yeah, and I know I know quite a few communists.
32:35.11
hello sunshine
I don't.
32:36.60
lostinthegroove
um I like talking to liberals about politics.
32:41.50
hello sunshine
I don't because sometimes what do you do you like correcting them?
32:42.67
lostinthegroove
I do. I really enjoy. I don't know why. No, i just lie I just like listening to their fuckery and I'm just like, I sit there with the smirk and I'm just like, but I just keep going.
32:48.13
hello sunshine
Let's see it.
32:55.81
lostinthegroove
I don't know why.
32:56.69
hello sunshine
I think it'd be fun.
32:56.65
lostinthegroove
I know it sounds terrible.
32:58.86
hello sunshine
It'd be fun to talk to a liberal that I could like be honest with.
32:59.00
lostinthegroove
a
33:02.71
hello sunshine
I.
33:02.82
lostinthegroove
Oh, God, no.
33:05.24
hello sunshine
I haven't had any liberals that I'm not supposed to like.
33:05.85
lostinthegroove
I don't think there's.
33:11.49
hello sunshine
crush their world, you know, but like if there was some type of a scenario where I could lay it out for a liberal,
33:26.47
lostinthegroove
Listen to you.
33:26.59
hello sunshine
i go I could see, not all of them, but I'm saying like if they're, I could just, I could just like fucking,
33:28.60
lostinthegroove
Laying it out to the liberals. Oh, title of Carissa's new memoir. Laying it out to the liberals.
33:39.73

34:04.10
hello sunshine
Ooh. Like go to hell. Honestly ruin the world. Like it's just so nasty. Like not all liberals, but like some of it, it's like, it's your identity because you don't have one.
34:18.17
hello sunshine
Like it's so gross.
34:18.41
lostinthegroove
Yeah.
34:19.53
hello sunshine
And I'll say the same thing about some conservatives, like go get a fucking opinion of your own. Like it's so nasty how people are just empty and they just cling onto a thing.
34:29.54
lostinthegroove
So nasty. Mm-hmm.
34:36.62
hello sunshine
Like it's like, I am this. And it's like, no one will ever know what you are.
