mine is that people in general are bad and terrible and my ideal life would be as a hermit with very little interaction with anyone except my animals and plants and no impact from people or governments and never reading the news.

when i was young, i was optimistic about the future of the human race but reality has bitch-smacked my inner child and taught me the truth and it keeps getting confirmed the older and older I get.

so what lessons have you learned as you’ve gotten older?

    This has taken me a lot of time and I’m still working on it, because I really do or did care about other people. I want everyone to do well, I want everyone to thrive, but this has most definitely not been my experience. I feel like when I was younger I cared less which is odd and it seems to be against most people’s experience.
