    I was about 25 years old before I realized I could use warm water to wash my hands in the winter. I’m usually considered a very intelligent individual, but for some reason this never occurred to me. Maybe it’s because I grew up poor and we tried to use as little hot water as possible, or maybe I’m just not as smart as people think I am.

      The tree of knowledge is enormous. We’re all bound to miss a thing or two. Most people might not ever come across a situation where they are missing that knowledge or they live their whole lives not realizing. Fuck I wonder how many things I haven’t realized yet?
