when I was 6, our preschool got a new set of play dough and for the entire day I went around asking ppl to please separate the colors back into the right ones after they're done playing with them. and ppl did, we had a nice fresh colored play dough and I was optimistic we could have good colors for weeks, if not months. I happily went home, confident my pals were going to keep it up. However, the very next fuckin day when I came back, the goddamn play dough was all mixed up and muddy; the fuckers had stopped doing that as soon as I had left the building. that's when the darkness in me began. the cynicism. the lack of faith in ppl. it all began in that moment
