that's very buddhist of you.

agreed.

this. when i went though my rookie program i was bruised up so much a stranger on the train asked if i was ok and offered up some information about unhealthy relationships. i appreciated her reaching out but i was also pretty embarrassed.

man i am so glad i wasn't famous as a teenager. there would have been so many pictures surfacing of me smoking pot, wearing something stupid or hanging out with questionable men it would have eventually driven me insane.
