I don't get straight people, but I understand what they look like.

Favor and honor sometimes fall more fitly on those who do not desire them.

People get trapped in the way things should feel and less focused on the way things should function.

I think it would be very difficult to maintain one kind of art or whatever for your whole life. I think it's unrealistic.
