I think I was trying to express my frustration between “laying claim” and “not being so harsh”. I keep going because I started all of this for a reason, so… surely I should keep going? Although I don’t remember why I started lol

Do you think you should continue? If you do not remember why you started how can you be sure you should continue? I work in method. I have i sights. I know nothing. I enjoy embracing the friction. I seek love, i am love, i keep it with others. I only hate myself.
