Would I live my life over again?
Make the same unforgiveable mistakes?
Yes, given half a chance. Yes.

@OneLight121 I mean, Columbus has a real ass cannon, and Gritty is sassy as hell (please watch Abbot Elementary!), so there’s that. 😎

[Stacy Boster King @queenofkings33]

@OneLight121 I mean, Gritty is the best mascot…😂

[Stacy Boster King @queenofkings33]

@OneLight121 Alas. It’s over. Good luck to you 🫡

@OneLight121 @BlueJacketsNHL I didn’t think I would be a hockey fan, but the last two years have proven me wrong. I even met some of the Love Is Blind guys at one of the games recently. Go Jackets! 😅😂

@OneLight121 @BlueJacketsNHL Booooooo!!!! 😂
