RideAnS [48]
December 31 i grabbed a beer, threw it up and said “2020 is my year”. and honestly i thought that that was true until i gave it until like a month or two. this is getting kind of ridiculous at this point. my cat died and a global pandemic took my life . and i put out some music that nobody liked. so i really bored and sad at the same time. and that’s why i’m like lowkey forget 2020.
