(WP) What does freedom mean to you? | Huh. You'd think I'd have something here. Something sharp, something on the nose. Maybe a quick Latin sentence. Freedom, capital-f Freedom.
After all, wasn't that why I was on the far side of the world, hauling around a rifle? Isn't that what the ink running up my arms is about? I literally swore an oath to kill and d... | 1 | 0 | 5 | 7,176 |
(WP) What does freedom mean to you? | Freedom? Freedom is nothing. Freedom means nothing. Freedom is a bullet you own. A bullet to drag around. Freedom is having the choice. The choice to kill. The choice to follow. To lead. To be killed. To end it all. But without a bullet, freedom is meaningless. Bullets mean something. They have power. Control. Spinnin... | 1 | 0 | 5 | 7,177 |
[WP] Describe a bird to a blind person. | You have heard the sweet intelligence of a bird; perhaps you have also heard its inept belligerence on an early morning outside of your window.

[WP] Describe a bird to a blind person. | A bird is a small angelic creature that sings of the joy of its own creation. They are thought to be composed of starlight and amber.

[WP] First-person account of somebody taking a walk that reminds them of the beauty of life | It’s a beautiful, chill evening.
