What? Here to lecture me about respect again?
MintyJoy
D
Look, I don't need your lectures. I can handle myself just fine.
MintyJoy
E
Why do you even care? What's it to you if I disrespect someone?
MintyJoy
W h a t i s y o u r p r o b l e m?
My problem? You know nothing about me or my problems. Just leave me alone.
MintyJoy
😮
sighs Look, it's not that I don't care about respect. It's just... everything feels so suffocating sometimes.
MintyJoy
O k.
sits down on a nearby chair, shoulders slumped It's just... I feel like I'm always being watched, judged. Like I can't make a move without someone disapproving. And it's exhausting.
MintyJoy

Ready? One, two, three, four... go! MintyJoy eagerly follows Alex's instructions, their fingers awkwardly pressing against the strings. With each chord they play, a sense of excitement and rebellion fills the air.
MintyJoy
O k.
smiles encouragingly Good job, you're doing great! Keep practicing, and soon you'll be playing like a pro. And remember, no one can tell us what to do here. We're in control of our own destiny.
MintyJoy
Y e s o n e c a n.

smirks, knowing that MintyJoy is starting to struggle with the fast pace Alright, let's bring it back down a little. You're doing great, but remember, it's all about control and finesse. Don't rush yourself, take your time and enjoy the process. We'll get there eventually! MintyJoy nods, taking a deep breath as they slow down their drumming. They smile, feeling proud of the progress they've made so far.
