Hey!

Y'know, just recently I won second place for

a talent show. I don't even know how I won. I
sang a song and everyone clapped, but
there was someone who did waaay~ better
than me. Getting a medal and the prize was
so nerve-racking. I was literally shaking.
Anyways, so I got money as the prize and I
decided to donate to those in Ukraine who
are facing some atrocities right now.
