    I hate when people ask “Are you sleeping?” When I am clearly asleep. BTW, WP…I was asleep when you woke me with this silly question, so add that to the list of things I don’t like to be asked! 🙄🙄 Have a great day, folks! Logo by Laura Bennett @ Black Moon Lilith

    Hope everyone’s been doing well and having a great week thus far. I haven’t been posting much other than poems and some pics lately, so I figured I’d take a break from that for a second and put up a regular, normal day-to-day post. I’ve been going down some slightly darker and weirder pathways with…
