I’m actually a bit surprised… my stock is pretty down from selling you so much over the past weeks.

It doesn’t matter, though; I have enough for the festival and I’m planning to rake in the big bucks like I usually do.

I think that’s a good sign tbh

You sound well adjusted.

I do one to probe one point, though… Coukd your motives for living this way be pride? A feeling that you being able to live up to your own (self-described as “high”) moral standards is something that makes you better than others?

The reason I ask: it’s not a bad thing to feel a sense of pride for having control over yourself, but it can be a weakness to obtaining true happiness because it also depends on the performance of other people. (If someone else exhibits more self-mastery than you, would that make you feel less happy about your own performance?)

If pride isn’t a factor, it sounds like you’re in a good spot.

Legit? If you have a costume, you’re getting candy if you come to my house. Age has nothing to do with it.

You aren’t a fuckup because you weren’t smart enough to protect yourself from getting hurt by others. Your parents are supposed to be looking out for you and they are not. They are to blame, not you.

This guy showers!

Have you tried a “shower orange”? Can’t recommend it enough.

The shower. Sometimes I just sit down in the tub and let life roll away in heated bliss

lol, definitely missed some important context.

I guess it thought OOP meant “clean” as in how do you dress the bird before you cook it. (As in: “clean a fish” means to filet a fish and prep it for cooking.)
