Wew lads, not too bad, not too great, but probably good overall. All I want to do is read brothers karamazov rn, I'm really digging it. I also drop out of college tomorrow and start work as a union carpenter/struggling writer in January. I'm still a young boy, just 18, and I feel like I have my whole life ahead of me, although I'm already making decisions that will impact the rest of my life.
