If we had never met you, we would still be superficial clones. Then, we saw you. We got to know you better and we totally changed. We are way happier now and loving life. You influenced us to become real again. Thank you so much. —New life

  1. this one has completely lost me…

    are they twins who are realizing they’re actually individuals?
    Is it a couple that went to therapy???

    Did a couple get a pet they’re gushing about?

    What the hell is going on here?

  2. I think their new baby/pet/threeway partner might have made them realize they were focusing on the wrong things in life, it reminds me of that SNL couple who chew gum and call eachother “babe”.

  5. Okay,
    We’re best friends and before we met this guy we were totally superficial. Then, influenced by him and a few other friends, we realized we were paying attention th other wrong things.

    soap, jobs/school, and adequate sleep time.
