Cats

So tragic, so funny

We all get sad, we all have doubts, we are demotivated, confused. But we don’t necessarily want to wear it on our t-shirts for all the world to see. That would be like telling everyone you meet that you are depressed or endlessly complaining about your life. But if you can make a bad situation […]

Vaguely Aware of Social Norms
