But I don't think you can mold yourself to be something for anyone's approval. The best approval is the kind that doesn't matter, not the kind that you feel dependent on, no?

Perhaps it's the months of isolation but I find myself seeking common ground even with those where I would normally have none. Like you.

Maybe I should go back to trolling the board.
