Fortunately, if we can get through without causing too much damage to ourselves or others, when we become adults and go out into the world, we can get the train back on the tracks, and those negative experiences we had as a kid can have a positive effect on us as adults, as our cognition and reasoning catches up and helps us see things in perspective.

Overall...I regard it all as a positive thing, but in retrospect...hoo boy. I didn’t see it as positive in any way at all.

Isn’t it grand, though? (As an adult, getting where you are mentally going and all the side quests on the way!)

All I know is that I bet I’m a trip to talk to.

You ask me what the weather is and the next thing you know you’re getting a crazy lecture on Celtic mythology which suddenly derails into Appalachian folklore and/or dialect and somehow relevant discourse on the meaning/techniques of cave art.

For no apparent reason I’ll swerve into telling you about some bug/animal/tree I saw recently and be super excited by that

And there’s probably gonna be a side quest about dogs, too but a lot of it will be sprinkled with song lyrics and obscure movie references because why not.

If your luck runs out, I’ll tell you why blue and yellow doesn’t necessarily make green.

Wooohooo!

( I really should be fitted for a strait jacket, tbh)

😁
