I want to say what I want to say and not care what you think. But I want you to like me. And I know you may be wise or you may be full of shit and I know I can't be trusted to always know the difference.
If you are wise, I am better off listening to you. If you are full of shit, I should not care what you think.
I can only do my best, which is both an annoyingly simplistic truism and also the fucking truth.
HOLY SHIT... this is the human condition, isn't it?
