Holy shit…..so hunter, ive looked at this site quite a few times and have read/watched a lot of what is on this site, and i really love/agree with everything on here. It’s all so intriguing. I especially love these quotes. I haven’t found an assortment of quotes that i have believed to be so true as these…if that makes sense. I just really love all of them. A while ago I wrote down a few of them and today looked at them again…they are just fucking awesome. Anyways, I did not realize that this is your site that you created until just now! I thought this was just a random site you liked and put a link on your fb. So i just wanted to share my thoughts about this site with you. I give you a fuck yeah for having such a beautiful outlook!

Lovelovelove, Rochelle.
