Please God, make me purer.
Here I am, having the grandest few months of my life, long may they last, and I’m still thinking bad thoughts about people. What’s up with that?
What’s the point, for one thing? I goes against all my instincts, principles, and thought-system, as well as my general good humor these days. These [...]
