Steve always aspired to make beautiful later.
He was willing to be misunderstood.
Steve was like a girl in the amount of time he spent talking...

Tasteless
You know, sometimes I wish I could be carefree, simple-minded, easy going, laid back and have that “who cares” attitude so I can just switch off and really don’t give a damn about anything at all.
But, would it be better, or even more tasteless?
