You’re standing on a planet with molten lava at its core. Trees are turning sunlight into air you can breathe. Your heart is beating without you asking it to. There’s a moon in the sky and bugs and sea creatures that glow. This whole thing is absurdly beautiful. Don’t forget to notice it.

Frustrating, but the pain of apple will soon be over, even if I lose all my group chat history. They have become the Microsoft of the 00's and I can't wait to be shut
