I feel the pressure im watchin some people press up on people that they're impressed wit cause they consider them precious. they'll do watever man just to get in their pressence but only if they could see when their poppin antidepressants. thats hard to see when the popparzi and press impress on us the whole perspective that all their earthly possesions can fully satisfy just cause it brings them pleasure, but that's a lie from the pit just to keep your eyes on the present. might i present to you this christ wants to give you a gift but your ingore him storrin up earthly treasure plus worthless fabrics the earth is passin away and everything that you purchase is like the grass that we graze. you know it witherin wether or not you want it to but you live like it wont like you'll think you'll always be 22. when you really wont please dont wait till your fully grown God wants to envade your life now this earth is not really home.
