Hello.

[Bit 1]

So it turns out that like people don't always mean what they say when they tell you things.

I was house-hitting recently and she said I could wear anything that I wanted.

I stopped at the underwear drawer. It's alright, but...

I had her clothes laundered and when I brought them back, she was like, "You really like to indulge in your crazy, don't you?"

Like, "Well, you told me I could. Alright."

[Bit 2]

People tell me that like I should be just myself.

And it's hard because you have to know who that is to be able to do that.

And when you don't really know who that is, then you get swayed around really easy and all of a sudden you're playing "Dudgeoned and Dragons" on Labor Day Monday.

I'm sorry, that's it.
