Here is a list of things that I at first thought were against me but were not:

• Wind (I think it is actually against everyone, not just me)
• Flying leaves (further investigation led me to realize that this is just the wind and, again, the wind is really after everyone)
• Flying debris (see: wind, flying leaves)
• Birds (I often interpret their whistles and fast flying as a kind of mocking, but I think that is just how they are: fast flying whistlers)
• The sun (I do not think it is personal)
• Squirrels (up for debate, however)
• Humans (they might be shouting at me because they are excited to see me, not because they hate me?)
• The rabbit skeleton I accidentally swallowed (this was my fault, rabbit skeleton)
• Ants (those bites could just be aggressive hugs, there is no way to tell)
• The deer across the river (wait)
• No, not the deer across the river (but I really should at least try…)
• Okay, the deer across the river (but then again, those horrible hacking sounds he emits from his tiny mouthed face are so awful and filled with so much negativity and hatred)
• Okay, no, not the deer across the river (but what has he really done to me?)
• Fine, the deer across the river (no, wait, he knows what he did)
• Never mind, scratch the deer across the river (wait, wait, just do it, what harm could come out of forgiving that vile beast and moving on with my life?)
• The deer across the river (…)
• Clouds (I assume they are moving that quickly because they have somewhere important to go and not because they want to spite me)
• My cave, for its occasional lack of heat (it is not your fault, cave)
• My claws (I am sure they did not mean to scratch me to intensely that one time I had an itch on my belly)
• Okay, I just cannot do this, I cannot add the deer across the river to this list, it just is not fair, he does not deserve further consideration or forgiveness, he deserves to stay at the river his disgusting hooves and malformed antlers, I simply cannot add the deer across the river to this list
• But I should…
• Fine…
• The deer across the river
