The Blunt Smokes You

'Tricky is not so much a narcissist as a narcossist. Narcissists never smoke, never do drugs because drugs take time away from yourself, precious time that the narcissist could be spending on themselves. The narcissist gets high on the endless supplies of themselves. The narcissist works fulltime on the endless job that is themselves. For the narcossist, on the other had, the self goes up in smoke. Being is an unbearable heaviness.'
