Sunshine and Lollipops

[ithika]

Right. I haven't updated in a while, or something.
I am in a happy place at the moment, and I realised that fully today. It's nice, being in a happy place. I mean, I'm happy now, and I'm confident I'll be happy in the future.
I was going to write more before, but now I cannae be bothered. Maybe later.

To appease you, here is a grotesquely giant quiz thing.
