Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

a large, gray ceramic lawn ornament of a frog sitting outside in the snow. it's almost a perfect sphere with bulbous eyes and a wide, slight grin. a patch of snow sits atop its head and runs between its eyes with a small trickle of water running down its cheek like a tear.

“ethical 9/11” as a description of the end of fight club is gonna be etched in my brain for quite a while
