What's the deal with tomatoes. They're just messy fruit full of water.

Right. Sorry.

Salad, sandwiches, vegetable juice, sauce, tomato soup... There's a lot you can make.

How does tomato soup work.

[You can't just. Plop some whole tomatoes in water and boil anything good out of them, can you?]

You have to fry the tomatoes for a bit first. They'll start falling apart after some time. Then you put them into the soup.

So some kind of disintegrated tomato mush. Hmm. Doesn't sound appetizing on paper, but what do I know. Just leaves more for you all.

It looks and tastes better than it sounds, I promise. I can make it for you sometime?

[Never mind that he doesn't even know who is this.]

I didn't write this as a call for kitchen help.

But I like to cook.

[...

...]

Bet plenty of newcomers would appreciate that kind of thing. Getting meals for free while they settle in.

Yes. I think that would be a good idea. We are thinking about something like that with my roommate.

Well, there you go. Get do what you like and help people. What could be better than that.

I would still be happy to offer you a soup though.

Unless you really don't want it, then I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be a bother.

You really need to stop apologizing for things like this.

Was I apologizing a lot when speaking to you?

You said sorry at least three times in this conversation alone. I can only imagine you apologize as much as you breathe. Why.

Ah, I just... it's an habit. It's hard to fight it sometimes. But I'm trying!

Habit or no, why do you feel like you have to in the first place?

I don't want anyone to be angry and I don't want to hurt their feelings either.

If someone's angry at you for just existing in the same space and caring about things, that's likely their problem to apologize for, not yours.

I guess maybe you're right.

Yeah, see? Way more satisfying a response than 'sorry.' You're welcome.

You're very kind, aren't you? Thank you.

[He is anonymously rolling his anonymous eyes as hard as he anonymously can, over here in this realm of anonymous text.]

Yeah. I'm the most thoughtful person I know.

I'm very grateful that there's so many kind people here.

Just don't forget to keep your guard up against people who might not be so kind. They're here, too.

Right, of course!

You know, you remind me of someone. He's also a very kind person who gave me a similar warning.
