Your eagerness to share your secrets is surely contagious. Here is mine: vivere commune est, sed non commune mereri.

Hm, I believe I am in need of a change of clothes.

Ooh. Latin. Fancy.
It's true. The shit of it is, a lot of people take their whole damn life to prove their worth.

[imputing]

Thank you. The translation doesn't do it any justice.

Do you think any of them ever succeeds?

[hedbonesoftruth]

Yes. A lot of them. People no one even remembers after they die often did more good for this world than anyone will ever know.
Humans are endlessly impressive and disappointing at the same time.

[imputing]

Truly. The most impressive of people are often the most disappointing too.

Once we make a hero of someone, they have a lot farther to fall. That's why I've always preferred to be hated. No one can think less of you.

[imputing]

Does that make you less deserving to live?

[hedbonesoftruth]

No clue. But I'll put up a hell of a fucking fight if anyone tries to stop me.

[imputing]

Then you are strong. Then you are deserving to live.
