un jour j’ai appris à parler avec des mots. de plus en plus grands. si grands qu’ils auraient pu engloutir l’univers. un jour je t’ai vu. je t’ai trouvé beau. tu m’as donné ton corps. et je t’ai fait du mal. je t’ai fait du bien. avec...
Apparently, old habits travel well. A week ago, on the very first night of our holiday, I rather overdid my weekend pour. To save space, I'd packed a gallon of cheap, dark sherry instead of a bulky stack of six-packs.Let's just say the...
