“There comes a moment in everyone’s life where they do the most awful thing they have ever done, and ever will do. And I hope with all my heart that moment has already passed for me, because I have done terrible things, and it scares me to think of what could be worse.”

Can someone explain to me what homestuck is?
touch is a primal language, like thought, or pain. we learn it before we can walk - being held by our parents, shoved by other children, licked by friendly animals. it is our first interface into the world around us, our first way to communicate.
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.
