I was having a weird time, earlier, thinking maybe I was dying because everything smelled like peanut butter. Eventually I figure out I’m fine, I just have peanut butter on my nose. Normally I would just laugh at my self, but I didn’t eat any peanut butter. I have had no contact with peanut butter whatsoever in days. That’s not out of spite. I have nothing against peanut...

bunnyholic:taemingoon:
When you are in the field and listening to the music
and you’re enjoying the atmosphere and feel like there is no place like that
