Sun and the Star finished! we learned to live with the darkness rather than excise it, to adapt to our inner trauma rather than conquering it, and to think twice about discarding our bad experiences-! oh, that's the same moral ad nauseum. hope that doesn't foreshadow anything! pnc.st/s/unwise-gir...
