The Ronie Dinosaur Manifesto: I See You It has been a monotonously vast and monstrously cruel life.
Age is a shallow ruler; it cannot gauge the true depth of a soul, nor the savage amplitude of its emotional tides. I have lived at the summit of the Himalayas and in the crushing black of the Mariana Trench.

To hell with it all. I got nothing back.
She took mine and never returned it. Read more from here...
