“Life is pain... but at least my eyeliner is perfect.”

Join the Pit. Misery loves company — and perfect winged eyeliner.

The Glorious Suffering

David Smiles does not smile. He tried once in 2017 and immediately regretted it.

He wanders through life like a goth cloud — raining on everyone's parade while complaining that the rain ruined his boots. His writing is like a warm hug from a vampire who forgot to feed.

If you're here for sunshine and rainbows, you've taken a wrong turn into the abyss. Welcome. 🖤☠️
