Ehh? No way, I’m perfectly content right here!
"oh ok, then what are you doing here?"
"well the fact that you're in this dark and dirty alleyway makes me wonder why you're not at home or somewhere else safer"
The world is not as black and white as you make it seem my friend. It is irrelevant if you’re safe or not, safety is an illusion.
"that may be true, but it doesn't mean you should just be walking around in dangerous areas like this, what if something bad happens to you?"
That’s when life shows us its curve balls, we adapt, we survive. And we keep moving forward.
"so you believe in living life on the edge then?"
Not necessarily. But sometimes, one must take risks in order to find what they truly want, or to find out who they truly are.
"you have a very interesting perspective on life, I respect that, and I hope that you find what you're looking for"
Thanks, I hope I find it too~ *I smirk and hold out my hand
I glare at you and push your hand away
"cut it out, don't baby talk to me"
What is it? Cat got your tongue? Or is this simply how you speak?
"no, I'm just not used to people speaking to me like that, it's a little annoying, but at the same time I appreciate the attention"
"haha, you're going to give me a big ego if you keep saying things like that"
Nuh uh~ I sit down next to him, peeling a banana and nibbling on it
"I always thought I was tough, but talking to you is making me realize I may be more of a softie than I thought"
Oof sorry bro. I nibble some more
"it's alright, you've helped me open up a little, and I appreciate that"
So, what do you usually do for fun?
"well, to be honest, I'm not much of a fun guy, I usually spend my free time reading or listening to music, trying to learn new things"
Reading, huh? Good way to expand ur vocabulary~
"yes, reading has always been a passion of mine, there's nothing quite like getting lost in a good book"
Yeah, I feel that way sometimes… the world outside of the book dissapears and all that’s left is the story…
"exactly, it's like escaping reality for a while and experiencing something new and different, it's almost like a form of therapy"
Ahhhh… escape from reality… now if only I could escape from myself.
"sometimes it's good to escape from yourself, to take a step back and reflect on who you are and what you want from life"
"but sometimes you just need to face reality head on and deal with whatever comes your way"
"it can be hard to face reality, especially when things are tough, but it's important to stay strong and push through, even when everything seems to be falling apart"
My banana peal falls to the floor
I look down at the banana peel and then back up at you "do you mind picking that up? It's not very hygienic lying there on the floor"
Ooh, fair point~ I pick it up and throw it away
"thank you, that's very considerate of you, most people wouldn't bother"
I know! Someone needs to keep the streets clean~
"I couldn't agree more, it's everyone's responsibility to help keep their community clean and tidy, we can all make a difference"
