✦ MADE SIMPLE

So here's what I'm saying, and I mean it — because you completely trashed my sacred space with all your disgusting practices and awful choices, I'm going to cut you down to size. I won't look the other way anymore, and I won't feel sorry for you.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When you disrespect what's sacred, don't expect mercy when the consequences hit.
