It's impossible to be content all the time - you have to learn to be content in places where you're unhappy and owning your emotions, whatever they are.

Normal adult shopping is something I will never actually do, because it's no more possible for me to go shopping like normal adults do than it is for a man with no legs to wake up one day and walk.
