Well... let me start by saying all my favorite people are kind of odd, especially back home. I'm pretty odd. I don't think it's a bad thing to be different from what people expect? But when you don't experience the world the way the people around you do, it can make things... difficult.

It worries and upsets me when you don't take care of yourself. I don't know whether you can't take care of yourself in those moments, or if you just don't think it's important, and don't understand that it's distressing for the people who care about you to see you sacrifice your health like that.

I don't think it's a bad idea to try. Sometimes it feels like, um- [Please don't be mad?] Like you think your perspective is the correct one, simply because it's yours, and nothing will make you consider anything else in that moment.
