fooling around in the dark

That's because this is Silmarillion

I told my therapist recently that buildings actually do need to sweat and breathe, and have what amounts to circulatory systems in their ventilation, water and electricity. If you leave a building closed up and stagnant for too long it will rot. He appeared genuinely shocked and touched and thanked me emphatically for the information

Of course the follow up was a trite “do you treat yourself the way you treat a building” and you know what, it doesn’t matter at all. Everything is a system and all systems require maintenance, and often that maintenance is deferred due to money and laziness. I am winning at therapy.

Let's get you a proper meal, refill your meds, and unfuck your living space as best we're able; if after that you still want cute girls to kill you with axes, you'll be in a much better physical and mental place to pursue that goal.
