to have people assume that I don't care about things simply because I don't outwardly show it or because I "phase into zombie mode" when I'm stressed out. Or because I'm perpetually tired and don't feel the need to put enthusiasm into what I'm saying or doing.

Literally, every person I've talked to in the last half week has at least implied this to me. Now is not the time.

In other news, Nashville is mediocre. If I can manage to come up with enough money for a passport/airfare/visa, I would like to do some traveling overseas with a bit of company for W.W.O.O.F. I'm aiming to do this at the end of our lease--quite simply because it may be the very last chance I have while I'm still young. In the next few years, I will be so busy with an apprenticeship, piercing, dedicating myself to becoming the best in the modification industry, then on having a family, then opening a business, then pushing that business to be the best.

No rest, no rest.
