i don't live with my parents, i just came down to visit
besides, i'm only 19 so it wouldn't be super weird if i were living with them
idk if i have the personality of a conqueror, i think i'm ok with my nature that i have right now

Machi is a realist so maybe she feels like you are too naive for your age and need something more rogue

she was an english major, i'm a german major. my brother and i grew up reading a lot.
i guess in some ways i am naive.
i just was wondering what she meant i guess, especially since she got my brother (2 years younger) a game of thrones book.
