Just be thankful you're not a guy. Everywhere we go the distraction comes with us.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Dodo did a bit of introspection. All my life, (or at least form as long as I've made my own decisions lol) I've run away from distractions the minute they start to get a little too... distracting. I even uninstall my apps and make my parents change the wifi password when things are especially rough. But that can't be done with everything, especially once I go to college (which is frighteningly soon  Panic ) so, I, the mightiest dodo, have decided to learn to control distractions rather than outright (temporarily) shunning them. No time like the present. So here I am again. Yeet.

Sounds like a good plan! Indeed, managing how much you "allow" things to distract you is a very important life skill. And no distractions is an unhealthy state of affairs, at least in my experience.

Fuck me, ain't that the truth. Try turning that one off.

I'm glad to hear you'll be sticking around, Dodos, if only for purely selfish reasons. But never forget that avoiding distractions is a method of managing them.

Bold mine: I don't contribute much here anyways, so its not like I could ever stick around for unselfish reasons. 
Italic (is that a thing?) mine: I'm already good at that. I've done it countless times. But at some point there'll be distractions I won't be able to avoid (logistically speaking), and I wanna be ready.

I meant that my reasons for wanting you to remain are selfish in that I take pleasure from having you around. Not that your reasons, themselves, are selfish.
