I prefere this chemical composition. I find it wiser.And if ever I had to
find love, why not someone who is pure in heart? I have always been the
friend of people with schizophrenia.
They are not the ones to blame. I prefer to be one of them, because at
least I can look at myself without any shame. This cannot be given to what
governs us, particularly in france. They just mess around. I am ashamed of
bearing such a nationality. I even would like to loose it by means of law,
that would be a total releaf.
