¶ IT'S DIFF3R3NT FOR 3V3RYON3, BUT TYPICALLY, I'V3 FOUND IT TO B3 TO F33L A N33D TO PROV3 YOURS3LF TO TH3M OR PROV3 TH3M WRONG. A DRIV3 TO B3 B3TT3R, DO B3TT3R THAN TH3M. AN ANNOYANC3 THAT INTRIGU3S YOU IN SUCH A WAY THAT INST3AD OF AVOIDING TH3M, YOU F33L DRAWN TOWARDS IT. §1 THAT KIND OF STRIF3 IS H3ALTHY IN TH3 RIGHT AMOUNTS. SOM3 ANTAGONISM, BUT ALSO A R3SP3CT FOR TH3IR TAL3NTS.

On the one hand, women can do no wrong, but on the other, women can do whatever, because they're awesome. So then it is a paradox that we're capable of being evil and also cannot be evil concurrently. Can anyone provide insight into this?

are some people unable to fathom that something like 40 sweeps is old to a lowblood? i get it. you'VE got, like, another fucking 2000 in you, or whatever. statistically i'M insanely lucky if i make it there, man. so, yeah. to me? pretty fucking old dude.

the statistics work out that way for a reason we both know. but even if i were to sneak into, say, my 70s realistically you or i are not getting much further. meanwhile there are people out there cracking 250+ sweeps saying they aren'T "old" when they are at an age that most people below teal could not even fucking dream of reaching.
