I keep my heart open and do my best to make my little world better. It makes me angry and tremendously sad when my empathy is taken advantage of but I wonā€™t stop caring and trying. I will keep myself and others safe but I am not going to become a hardenedā€¦

I want to write an A24 movie script about Hans Christian Andersonā€™s infamous 5 week stay with Charles Dickens. This would surely excite at least a dozen weirdos and half of them are me with different hats and fake names.

In a Discord server my friends have made custom emoji because of me. One is :erik: which is a mischievous mustached smily and another is :spraybottle: which is a spray bottle that says no and sprays the mischievous mustached smily. No regrets.
