I am most likely a narcissist, egomaniac, and I will unpack that at some point. My mind forgets what my physique at all times appears to recollect slightly late — that I am 50 and must make higher selections. My physique pulled the emergency brake on me the opposite night time and I ended up fracturing my tibia. It’ll require surgical procedure, I do not know the timeframe on that but.”
