Little did they know the power that they had given me of two sentences, as I am incredibly obsessed with typing out really long sentences no matter what limits, by the end of this sentence, it will take up an entire page, and you will have regretted giving me such a power as two sentences, though you have doubted the power of the two sentences and now I am definitely going to make this equivalent to a ten paragraph essay, or worse, a twenty paragraph essay that is spaced out to the point where it takes up fourteen pages even though each paragraph is only a sentence or two, but alas, I will manage to get through without ever making this a run-on sentence, however, if I have than that’s quite an unfortunate turn of events, that would make this entire thing somewhat vapid, if you ask me, but then again I have already put more effort into this single sentence than I ever will my life, that’s sad in some senses, but luckily I’m not missing out on much, and on a side note I am totally an edge lord. Yeah.
