=======================
Awesome. I love the darkness,relatability and togetherness. I believe that darkness is more uniting than happy times, but this is nice. Speaking of Twitter, we should have an Anti-Twitter day here.
Edit: Thanks for the response. Maybe Twitter links should actually be absolutely banned here. Or maybe just an even dedicated to its evil.
I agree with you that darkness is more uniting because people react much stronger to negativity than positivity.
Absolutely. I agree, we need; both darkness and light, because if one lives absolutely in one. They're blinded.
Twitter is a machine-made hell™
