I know, that’s what I said, too. 

Well, we’re all just human, so, yeah. Guess that’s true.

Then we’re in agreement, perfect.

More like nosy, but I’m nosy too so. Yep, that’s all I am, is a busy person who’s probably happy with their life. Congrats, we’re best friends now.

Probably?

Think so, yeah. You don’t know? At least young people handle it better, no? Definitely not preferred. It’s fine though I swear Is it? Guess its young That’s good to know sure doesn’t feel long. Oh. I see. Right I don’t know about getting to know me 

I’m not opposed to trying. I’ll just have to look it up.

Okay, makes sense. How big is your family You live in The Outskirts?

.

I just thought I was simply... uneducated in that department. Can I ask why it’s fine? Because you repeated that twice now. It is young. I hope that’s not insulting. 

I can show you as well but if you prefer to learn by yourself, I understand.

Well, I’m trying, but I don’t think I really do. I don’t think replacing those words really gives the context I think you want. But I understand where you’re coming from. There are a lot of people in the world who are cynical like that. Sure, it might be a human concept that changes from person to person, but the common thread among all people, all cultures, is the concept of good and bad. If we have the intelligence to create these morals than it just sort of follows that we’d create guidelines for them, right? I don’t see why that’s a “bad” thing.

Yeah, I mean, I’m sure they try, but there’s only so much they can do, right?

I didn’t say it was bad just, what one considers bad might not be bad for someone else. So, I’d say it might be troubling to come to a consensus and see just how much “good” someone is capable of.

I’m not, thanks.

Sure, why not? What’s not to love? 

It’s a group of girls - you get divided by age, so it goes Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors. You do a lot of different activities and help out the world, and you also do sell cookies, especially in the younger ages. It’s a great community to be part of. Does that make sense?

Uh Yes. In October. 

I do know more about Girl Scouts than I did before, so there’s that. I appreciate the moment give to explain to me.

The sound is something you get used to. It’s not quiet like the places out here. Like real quiet. Some people like that kinda thing. I didn’t mind it but how busy it is gets to be a lot at times. Guessing you’ve never lived in one?

I guess so. And they have designated places? I figured it was just a matter of looking up. I’ve never really had any trouble in the woods but you see the reports from time to time. And the corps Are they really that bad?

It’s noisy? No, I’ve never lived in a city. I tend to keep away from them.

It’s not that I’m more comfortable using that, it’s that those words mean two different things, and saying that they’re the same, even to you, isn’t right. They’re not the same. People can be different but that doesn’t make them unnatural. And it doesn’t make humans unnatural either. Yes, but you said no other species has damaged the world and that’s not true. We have the capacity to do bad, but we also have the capacity to do good. 

Oh, good. Yeah, sorry, I thought you meant daily. Um– still, that’s not good? Do you really find enough bodies that that’s a problem?? Well, ACAB so…I can’t say that on main I’m the fucking daughter of two prominent lawyers uugh The police don’t seem to close a lot of cases here.

So just replace unnatural with different and you can grasp what I meant. Bad and good, those are concepts humans created to begin with and unfortunately ones standards of good or bad changes from person to person. What you may perceive as bad and good may not be what I see is bad and good. I have a feeling already we have differences in that aspect but I will not assume we don’t have similarities.

I’m not saying to me, just…do shit to change what you keep saying you dislike about the world and shit in general. I don’t know, I’m not a big philosophical person. I know the way my life is, and that’s just the way it’s gonna be.

Fair enough. Me? Far from it. If I did, I’d actually care enough to, as my father used to say, tone it down. I suppose it might just be one of those “grass is green” situations where one party that hasn’t experienced the other thinks the other is better and vice versa. Although you don’t have to tell me, I grew up with fucking demons and I’m living with one now. Weird and interesting to the muggles is every day life for me.  That reminds me… Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities. Fantastic read. Need that on my bookshelf again.

.

Tone it down? What would you need to tone down?

Oh fuck. Well, nevermind then. 

It’s not a bad thing. Just curious why someone old would be online, but I guess you’re not. I don’t know if I have No, I don’t, and don’t worry I’m fine we don’t have to talk about it. Never know if I should count those five 27. What do you mean by that? How would you figure it out?

No. Feel like I can’t sit still for too long to try meditation. But I’m always aware of shit, doesn’t feel relaxing though. If there’s anything that could help, I’m interested.

Maybe. Like, not owning them? I wouldn’t know which is better, I don’t remember my time as

.

I see. Is the internet a young person’s area? I was just curious, we don’t have to talk about it if you prefer not to. 27, that’s young. Much younger than I am. You know, how most people figure it out, getting to know someone. Right? Is that not how human relations work

I can only recommend what helps me, unfortunately.

I don’t think we’re unnatural at all, no. Just…different. And different isn’t bad. And that’s not entirely true. There are plenty of species that had devastated environments that aren’t humans. But our duality is what makes us special, in my opinion. Why is that?

I’ll definitely try my best to not be one of those– wait, you find bodies on the daily?

I see different and unnatural as the same thing in this situation but if you’re more comfortable with different I understand and I will use that word for you. I wouldn’t compare any other species damage to those done by humans, however. Considering we are the only ones who know right and wrong. I’d prefer to be pleasantly surprised and proven wrong than to be proven right in that case.

I am, thank you.

I don’t assume that. I’m just saying, that’s how the world is. Just because you wish it was another way, doesn’t mean that’ll happen. Words only go so far, if you want change, you should enact it yourself.

You’re very welcome.

Yeah, but asking first would’ve gotten rid of the roundabout. Well, I do. And this conversation is wasting it

Yeah, well, the world doesn’t owe you, or anyone, shit. It might be, but that doesn’t mean that happens. Sometimes people get left out in the cold, it’s not sad, it’s just a fact of life. 

I can see you do. You must be a very busy woman.

Well, nature doesn’t make us do anything, technically. We’re individually thinking beings, one of the only species capable of it. And nature made us that way. I don’t think we’re all so bad. Humans have done a lot of good things, too. Yes, there’s greed and war and hate and pain, but there’s also hope and love and faith and kindness. People always look at all the bad humans do, because that’s all that gets talked about. We do good, more often than not. And I choose to believe that.

Right, yeah, so I’ve heard. I’ll um, make sure to stay on the paths except when I go scavenging for artifacts.

Perhaps nature giving you all sentience was her biggest mistake.

No, not all bad but incredibly damaging. If you look at the rest of nature, humans can appear rather... unnatural don’t you think? One of its kind, capable of massive destruction and to their own home. Mankind is nothing if not capable of duality, good and bad. However, I’ll be the first to admit I’m inclined to expect the latter from others.

It definitely depends on the person. Some people are worth it, others aren’t. I wouldn’t put myself out there for people I don’t think deserve it, either. And I don’t think it’s exactly healthy to be codependent on a long term basis but sometimes friends need that extra support. You just have to make sure you’re strong enough to be that support too. It’s a mutual understanding. If it’s not, then there’s a deeper issue.

Interesting. Human relations are so intriguing.

So, if your friend, that you believe deserves your dependency, continually requires extra support, how would you react? Are you a bad friend for one day not being there for them?
