Don’t tell me anything—I’m a professional seer, I’ve got this. You’re a…teacher. Architect? Some sort of scientist, or artist. You work with your hands. Great. So you’re…a plumber. A massage therapist. An origami expert. A boxer. Please don’t leave, I just need to concentrate harder on these tea leaves, these tarot cards, this wafting incense, and your pulse. You’re a painter. A dog whisperer. A roofer. A DJ. A dental hygienist. A sushi chef. You know what? Your past should be way easier. You had a great childhood. An awful childhood. A mediocre childhood. Oof, our time is up, sorry.
