I hope you’re doing better, pal.
Thank you.
I hope they're doing whatever makes the world more interesting, regardless of how it makes them feel.
The fuck?
Sorry for being honest? If they're suffering i hope it's at least novel and exciting. If they're doing well i hope it's in a way that enables them to make the world cooler.
I dont know this person. They could be a terrible piece of shit or the physical personification of all values i hold dear. Maybe I'd wish them well! Maybe I'd hope they fall in one and die. But i know i don't want whatever happens to be boring.
Sorry for not lying. I'll be less honest in the future.
