Dear god, please give me an aura that protects me from pest, cholera,  jealousy and flatmates. And can’t we make an agreement? Like that having a spoon of the good tuscan olive oil from my friend Stefan makes this aura thicker? And that in moments when I cross my two biggest toes it gets a double layer? We can, can’t we? 

Thank you!
