rode the dragon who breathed fire
I don't know how we did it but we did. rode the dragon who breathed fire destroyed towns and cities to get where we are. there was a time wasn't there where we were worried about having to sleep in the car. it was the not knowing, that nearly killed us dragged us down into [...]

feminism: a reality check.
