piddling
and
peddling
middling
and
meddling
sitting
and
sulking
and
settling
haven't
looked
in
forever
but
I
know
that
I'm
never
forgetting
what
I
sold
to
the
reaper:
the
bruises
from
my
teachers
breadcrumbs
of
a
deceiver
and
an
auctioned bloodletting
(

I
do
think
that
some
people
need
to
feel
challenged,
and
that
they
will
look
to
challenge
themselves
constantly
if
a
challenge
hasn't naturally presented
itself
and
/or
if
they
don't
feel
properly engaged
or
stimulated
or
helpful
or
purposeful
or
dominant
or
bloodlust-quenched
or
whatever
motivates
that
urge
.
And
that
a
problem
is
just
a
challenge
with
a
negative
association
.
But
there
are
also
definitely
people
who
just
want
everything
to
be
easy
all
the
time
.
And
perhaps
that's
much
more
boring
by
comparison
,
but
neither
type
of
person
is
more
or
less
likely
to
feel
bored
or
unsatisfied
.
No
matter
what
their
standards
or
interests
are
.

sorry
if
I
was
hard
and
cold
as
a
fighter
even
though
I
know
I
behaved
more
like
a
writer
I
was
finding
the
world
I
put
myself
in
the
center
sorry_I_locked_myself
away
for
the
winter
I
was
trying
to
learn
...
how
to
love
...
the
taste
...
...
of
my
own
blood

if
it's
the
blood
of
a
lion
or
the
blood
of
a
swan
it
all
measures
the
same
anyone
who
ever
felt
like
they
had
nothing
to
lose
could
probably
use
a
change
of
attitude
