· 07:40SERIASHIA CHATTERS I can’t leave you alone because if I leave you alone, you would be left to do nothing. And you have a lot of support around you and yes, you can’t do a lot of things yourself, but you’re lucky enough to have other people to do them for you. And you need to get up because there is no time for this.
