to repeal the snooper ' s charter , maybe put it in the OP ? <| sep |> For me , it was the childlike empress from Neverending Story . Me and my brother would get into actual fist fights over who loved her more . I didn ' t whine when I got hit in the nose though so i always won . <| sep |> Cook ' s visit to a beach in Hawaii didn ' t end so well <| sep |> Man , it completely made me switch from an idealist to a pragmatist . Now I don ' t believe people ' s intentions at all and I am very wary of accepting people as friends . I also lost a lot of interest in the activities and things I used to enjoy as I am trying to recreate a new personal identity that is totally removed from the person I once was . It is really quite amazing how much your perceptions can change through circumstances in ways you cannot anticipate but I feel wiser and I think this new way of looking at the world could make a significant difference in my life .
