Lemony Problems
Did you know humans invented lemons?
๏ปฟ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Sometimes I wonder if I create problems
just so I have something to overcome
and turn into something good.
As if I don't have enough sourness in my life.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Or maybe I just really like lemonade.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Wait humans really created lemons? ๐ฎ Excellent poem, and no donโt create problems, the only problem you need to overcome is yourself, you could be the lemon, only you would know.
No I didn't but I do like lemons with other things, but I still don't understand flavoured lemonade
