If you need me you’ll know where to find me. Either through a door that’s shaped like a pumpkin or a through a rabbit hole. I’ll be the one wearing a hat or none at all. What is this? A tea party or a snow fight? To laugh at yourself is to love yourself. Mr. Bean is the best example for being yourself. Dullness is a disease. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. Be yourself, everyone else is already taken. I am under no obligation to make sense to you! Only if you decide to stop fighting, it ends. Wear Sunscreen.
