i am not sure what this account now is, i guess
it is my attempt to make sure that if something horrible
happens to me, there will be some record of what

it is lonely to feel that i could disappear and no one
would notice or care, but leaving this here

i climbed down to the river on that shit thru the bramble and can say from experience it is not as easy as it looks, and i used to just roam around miles of shoreline finding ways to reach the parts of the pacific where the ocean crashes into the closest thing we can get to irish style cliffs

fuck these people's priorities
tourists are gonna bust their ass bc you don't want a few homeless ppl living near the river. assholes.
