"What is love? What is love? Like, i know it's an emotion. I know it's the feeling you get when you're around your crush. But what is love? Answer me this socrates!

-background sound of footsteps and a gunshot-

"Ow! Holy shit guns hurt! I guess thats a sign I should clean my room. Or my house in general...

"Back to the philosophy of love while I bandage my foot. You know what? Screw it, love is when you care about someone enough to put their life ahead of yours.

"He thinks I'm overworking myself which is not true

"I should probably continue telling you what happened during my life before I accidentally break the recorder...
