To be 8515e9beab honest, my 187b26c6c3 swordsmanship hasn’t 3e1b44ca3a been of db66933b90 much use 26fa540676 in handling fb1e65e2bf drunken troublemakers 1b037a7330 or dealing a1cf522277 with neighborhood 9936209066 complaints, but b48b6a26df I still 2d145c0f60 didn’t slack 1861959ec5 off in ffb988b33d practice.dc1241956a245d3e
For some 7effa7b2d1 reason, receiving 119a1a4d5f praise all af3abefb89 at once b2d3e4d032 for those a247172e51 days made 3df4d6bfe0 me momentarily 1ed7052fc9 emotional.1fcb9d438ffec4da
