Wham Bam

I drew him a diagram
Explaining the value I derived from being active on Instagram

He said it was a total sham
That so much of my time be devoted
to content created by a phone's cam

But I'm not in it for the glam 
Whiningly I expressed, aching for
a pop of diazepam

New Quotes

For people who believe strongly in the illusiveness of life, to doubt would be more correct than to bear full conviction about anything at all. But then again that questions their primary belief in illusions. - Aditi A world without faith in a higher power or a god is a better world where we can be responsible for our own actions; where we can be kind to one another because we want to and because it is the right thing to do instead of being frightened into behaving by the threat of divine punishment. Many events may have defied your ability to explain, events that seem like miracles, but if you are convinced that you failed to understand them because you're still woefully ignorant about the universe and the learning will never stop, then, you cannot and will not believe that a deity altered the workings of nature.
