Transcript
A stream of consciousness. To that boy who came in my DMs and said, you worst like Adam Sandler at the gym. It doesn't matter what I wear because your mother loves it. Two, hair should not be this difficult. I grew this bitch out so people would stop misgendering me. Not because I care about that part, it's just the fact that I have to live with the awkward silence when you have been calling me a homeboy for twenty minutes. And halfway through the conversation, you realize I'm in fact no a homeboy. Skin. Which one is the right one for me? Okay? And which one do I put on first? Also, are y'all buying multiple different shits from multiple different people? And if so, how the fuck are y'all affording this shit?
