Have you ever tried to free hand draw a circle? Can you do it? If you can, go pound sand you prissy little arse aardvark. We don’t want to know about your well rounded perfection.

It’s difficult to live a well rounded life.

Some suggest that’s the role of a therapist - to help you live a well rounded life. Others say a therapist is there to help square you with the realities of existence.

But I don't even care
Because I can tell what's going on

It's hip to be square
It's hip to be square
