My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully and yell for help if you need it.
A person without curiosity may as well be dead.
Why are we acting as if we're angry. Are we angry?
Snoring keeps the monsters away.
Suddenly question number four popped into my mind. Have you thought about how this relationship will end?
