I've probably said this before, but it's not that I wanted money (well, I did, intensely, around 16 or 17) — it's more that I can't stand the fact that there are things I can't have. If something is theoretically impossible to obtain, or purely imaginary, I'm fine with it (rationally). But when others are getting it — when there's a precedent, or at least a plausible inference that it happens, even if only in rare cases — I can't let it go.
So I guess I really haven't changed.
Stubborn, or maybe just simple. That's honestly what I am. For better or worse, or objectively boringly, I'm just an animal.
