Once upon a time- about 2004 -I mentioned to… let’s call them an associate… that I really liked red pandas and that I had considered adopting it as my persona. Her response was that they were too cool and popular for me, and that I should stick to the alter ego that I had invented in 7th grade, instead.
I should have known then that it represented a very serious underlying problem that would later crack into a massive chasm between us. c_c
I should go to bed.
