Do we even know who we are, Living like all life is forfeit...
Like we can just go redefine it, Regardless what we broke

---News---

Both my external harddisc & computer crashed a few weeks ago, I'm still waiting to hear the good news that I get all the files on my external harddisc back - but I have no idea when this is going to happen. All my photos were on that disc. Seeing as all my fils on my computer are lost I also won't be able to play around in Photoshop for the time being either at least untill I have re-installed everything. So no submissions for the time being I'm affraid
