No, because you only think about yourself. I used to blame all my problems on my parents, but now that I’m a grown up, I have come to terms with the fact that when bad things happen to me, it’s probably just that Mercury’s in retrograde again. My bank account is also in retrograde. I was waiting on the universe but the universe was actually waiting on me. Every time the universe sends me a sign, I’m like, okay, but I think I’ll wait for a signier sign.
