In the end, you will always kneel.

Everythings a choice. Nobody's born good. Nobody's born evil. It's always a choice.

Honestly, I’m happiest when I’m with my best friend and we’re just laughing about life and times, there is nothing greater than friendship in this world. And that kind of sort of mutual acceptance ; to feel known and understood by people and to feel like you know and understand them back is all you can ask for.
