Jeesoo Yoon (ID: 000000514f0ef947) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/02/2022 I didn't know you could do this with an extension. This is the piece that was missing from my life, the piece that prevented true self-actualization and nirvana. I am at peace and feel comfortable once again being with the emojis that held such intimate emotional meaning in my more formative years. May every deity bless you with anything you could ever want. You are doing god's work
