    Mostly because I’m a failure at being a functional human being. Sometimes it’s because I stubbed my toe, or I hit my funny bone. Usually it’s the soul-crushing despair, though.

      As if you’re perceptive enough to know whether or not you’re a failure at being a functional human being.

      Maybe if you tried harder.

      Edit: apparently it wasn’t clear enough that I’m not serious
