a year and got rid of it. You know, like I just didn't care. I can't get pleasure spikes anymore. Being a pleasure seeker is like being a drug addict. You take a pergocet, makes you feel good. You know, now two weeks later, you gotta take two pergocets to get the same feeling. Three weeks later, you're taking three, four, five, and then eventually you're taking them just to not feel like shit and you don't get high anymore. Same thing with pleasure. Pleasure is like fleeting and pleasure is one of those things where it's like, it's a black hole. You know? So what makes you happy? Oh, fuck, surfing, hanging with my friends, you know what I mean? It doesn't cost money to be honest with you. You know, it's kind of funny, but like.
