I…..
He said it was bad there, but what kind of hell did he go through?
He wasn’t even like this dealing with such toxic industry for more than a decade, but one mention of military got him squirming hard.
I’m just glad he can start taking care of himself now….— Mandymolala⁷ 🔍⍢⃝🔎 (@mandymolala) June 20, 2025
