I had this problem with plumbing stuff last month. One easy fix turned into me having to disassemble my whole dang toilet.

I felt this way about him as child and I still feel this way. It doesnāt make sense to me that he exists. Heās like a caricature or an archetype, a fairy tale allegory or a flat man.

I am going to try my damnedest to get out of this city by 2027. My contracts with my current employer will have run out by then and degree #4 will be done too. Wish me luck. People whoāve been here as long as I have rarely seem to make it out.
