the lion doesn’t concern himself with managing other people’s feelings

the lion doesn’t concern himself with what ifs

the lion doesn’t concern himself with germs

the lion doesn’t concern himself with reliving that one excruciatingly painful moment for the one thousandth time and imagining a better response
