Just leave alone swell we do n’t want you nor your colour Eco experiment . If you wanna experiment how to live like a rotter the driving force north and find yourself a desolate dessert infinite where you are free to live like a tramp as you please . I doubt you would do that though as your generation only does things for attention . Just forget dude no one wants you here
