It's a lazy angry short-tempered neet who does prescription drugs, I guarantee it.

Don't romanticize this stuff, mate.

Don't get meme'd on.

Maupassant went crazy and let me tell you it didn't help dying early.

Gerard de nerval went crazy, let me tell you, killing himself didn't help him create more.

You're a meme op
