At this particular moment in time there are four things I am absolutely, positively, without a doubt sure of: 1. The meat industry's rampant abuse of animals and environmental devastation was abhorrent. 2. I suck at Biology. Like, genuinely suck. 3. There was no possible way I was not going to fall in love with Alex Cardoso 4. Like all great love stories (well, all the good ones anyway) it will not not end well. Like, the "go up in flames" not end well. (Cover by: leslymm)
