sense loose to dramatize that on a pillow .
AND if anyone pass water a commentary ( or bad , a trick ) about your fresh flavor , read that they ’re merely green-eyed of your self-confidence and care they had a schmaltzy - droplet of joie de vivre in their savourless - bum blood stream .
in the end , I ca n’t resolve if liveliness is myopic or retentive but I do cogitate that it can be really tiresome and the good counterpoison to tedium is a sheer turnout .
