  6.

  7. Donna Watkins : πŸ€” i ' m saying : Life is short , hence , i need to think about something DEAR to me πŸ™‚ , something atraktive , pretty , unique , rare , like a moment of tenderness , sincerity for exemple , something i could on and thing about , when i feel bad or ill , to tell myself that i did not waste my time in life πŸ™‚ …

  8. Nope where's my car let me run them over.

  9. Michael Grabianowski : Those gerlz denialls of reality pushed me , among other things , to stay here where i am in Moscow Russia well beyond the time i had planned …..

  10. Michael Grabianowski : it is INACCEPTABLE that gerls from my Ex – Youguoslavia BEHAVE like if they were wiminn from USA for exemple , they , those gerls must know where their place is as a small East Europpean country …..

  11. Michael Grabianowski : And that KNOWLEDGE that gerls nintheen years old , twenthy years old from my ex – Youguoslavia HAVE a normell life , with friends etc …. while i ( Svetozar ) 45 years of age who has been living abroad for decades , i , i cannot "get a life" , i strugglle , or , at least , i have a sense , a feelling , that , i m struglling , as my wishes , my desires , are denied …. that knowlledge is killing me like an explosion NOT even like en poison or venen …

  12. Michael Grabianowski : Some young Tall nice gerl From MOnteneguro Manja Simonovic in 2019 sent me a Facebook friend request , i took with pleasure , but , when a few weeks after ONE night i LIKED with hearts many of her photos she bloked me … i complained to Mina , who lied to me , Manja Simonovic had shut her FaceBook s page down , lied , because , from my mum s profile Milanka Milosevic , i saw in sept 2020 that that Manja Simonovic commented on some Sara Kocovic s profile pictyure …. new then ….
