People, the moment you think you have it understood, they prove you wrong.

I just don't.

And I dislike olives.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. I find it really difficult to meet the expectations put upon me - because they keep changing them.

I find olives too salty for my tastes.

Yeah, people are impossible to categorize, they are far too complex, there is too much going on.

What this world needs is more straightforward honesty.

My thoughts exactly, but people seem to disagree. :?

...and I dislike olives too :)

I don't get people, but I think olives are delicious.

Okay, things are already better, just had to go through that phase once again. The world isn't so cruel and horrible afterall, even though olives suck.

It still feels as if all people were wearing masks. The sad thing is that always the thing revealed behind such is much more beautiful than the cover facing towards everyone.

Black olives are nice without pits. People are a little harder to deal with.

I feel exactly the same way. But some people aren't comfortable with what's really there. I guess that's why we all wear masks.


As for olives, I like the black ones. All the others are terrible, but I will eat them anyway because I think they taste interesting.

I like olives. Except for the canned ones. I like fresh olives. I love Greek food like souvlaki and pita wraps and pita bread with special Greek sauce on it, and baklava.


Keoren, I used to feel that way sometimes too. For me it was stuff drilled into my head by life and the people in my life that blocked out rationality. Like, people including my own mother dropping hints that I was incapable, incompetent, slow, etc. just by saying things like that I had a disability or would have to work harder than others to do normal things like get thru school. That was (a tiny part of) what made me do worse.


Sorry for the tangent.
