 if you have difficulties with acne, try changing your pillow-case once a week.
 
 in addition, you should probably ditch all the cleansers and products. your
 face isn't dirty if you wash it with water.
 
 if you use hot water, be sure to apply face lotion after drying off.
 otherwise, your body will over-produce oil in order to protect your skin and
 it'll give the acne a perfect environment to grow in.
 
 cool or cold water doesn't need lotion as much.

 I've never felt cleaner than when I wash my body in a river. Something about
 the comforting bio-film on the rocks gives my skin a nice ooze. [ew gross]
 it's really not gross I promise it feels like it's how it's supposed to be
 [use lotion??] no that's different it's not about moisture [weirdo]

 whenever I take a shower I look like a wet cat for the rest of the day. I feel
 like a wet cat for the rest of 5ever though.
 
 why must I baaaathe! don't you know I'm self cleaning? I change my underwear
 at least twice a day! darn society and their darn proclivities to
 ultra-sensitive noses that somehow pick up on me but somehow fail to notice
 the scent of flowers still in bloom or morning showers gone too soon
 
 not that there's any flowers blooming where I live. that'd just be silly heh
 heh sweats nervously
 
 damn now I have to take ANOTHER SHOWER stupid sweat glands stupid pheromones
 stupid dead skin buildup (sebum I think it's called?) stupid oils that stain
 clothes - AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING who decided that laundry was important
 enough to wear something ONCE and then never again? it's like they expect you
 to wash it or something. ugh I don't have time for that, I need to be weird on
 the internet.

 if you ever need to take a cold shower, you can make it easier by acclimating
 yourself slowly. The easiest way to do this is to spread water over successive
 parts of your body with your hands - I usually start with my thighs, then
 legs, then belly and butt, then chest, neck, then face. After that you should
 be good to get in the water.
 
 somehow it's less painful if it's applied by a warm hand, and yet it gets you
 comfortable in the cold just the same. curious...

 to help cool down in arid environments, have water dripping from a faucet onto   │

 refreshing. Can do a sponge or paper towel too if you want.                      │
 this helps keep the air moist because the water will slowly evaporate from the   │

 congratulations, you never need to adventure again. your necessities are taken
 care of.
 
 ah, but that'd make for a pretty boring life, wouldn't it? perhaps, depending
 on your personality type.
 
 but you're not one to stick around doing nothing but eating, drinking, and
 being merry.
 
 no, you're an adventurer, you crave excitement and glory. whatever that means
 to you...
 
 just make sure a goblin doesn't come across your corpse, they have a VERY
 short term memory and a propensity for collecting shiny things. That's just
 asking for dragon-bait, and we don't want that in our area, no thank you. This
 is a nice neighborhood you see, my neighbors three miles away all agree, so
 you can take your magic pocket and see all that you can see... way over
 yonder, if you please.

 best way to stay hydrated is to take small little sips every 15-30 minutes
 rather than down a huuuuuge bottle once every 6 hours
 
 the reason is that your body absorbs water like a sponge might. but, it's a
 slow-acting sponge, and the water only stays in your blood for so long before
 it's filtered by the kidneys.
 
 meaning you're only hydrated for a short while, and then you gotta whiz
 
 meanwhile if you take little sips often throughout the day, you'll always have
 sweat to cool you down, and you'll need to pee a lot less - probably only
 enough to remove materials your body can't use from your food and such. also
 waste-products from your cells as they work.
 
 which is to say you'll pee less, and it'll be less and less useful for um
 "recycling" if things get dire. so... become un-piss-drinkable! you'll be
 healthier anyway!

 anhedonia perhaps? the difficulty of identifying or feeling emotions? (emojis
 as you put them)
 
 you shouldn't overexpose yourself to things regularly. Think of it like you're
 slowly adjusting your body to a poison - you need to start out slowly to build
 up a tolerance. In the same way if things make your heart hurt then you
 shouldn't expose yourself to too many of them all at once - face the darkness
 you find, but only enough to contrast with your bright.

 if you wear a quilt upon your skin as you sleep each night, you will
 inevitably find that it has grown yellow from the sweat, that it is worn from
 the friction, that it frays from the toenails, and it thins from the moisture.
 You'll need to wash it, which damages it still, and soon you'll find yourself
 replacing it - this heirloom you deliver to landfill.
 
 but, if you wear a sheet underneath, you'll find that all you need to wash and
 replace is a thin piece of fabric.
 
 democracy is a quilt, society is the stuffing that keeps you warm, and voting
 is the sheet underneath that works to keep things clean.
 
 unless, of course, you sneak into your ex-husbands house while he's at work
 and spread grease on-top of the sheet. If you fill his warmth with butter he
 might find it harder to vote his way out of a damaged quilt.
 
 the rich are the butter, and I'll leave the other question to the reader -
 who's doing the sneaking? why are they so interested in fraying our quilt?
 
 oh right, they want to prove their god

 when you run out of an ingredient you use often (like butter, seasoning, or
 flour) put the container by your shoes.
 
 then, when you go to the store, look through all the empty containers and make
 a mental list.
 
 when you get home and are putting things away, if you forgot something just
 leave the old container by the door. everything else can be recycled / trashed.
