Chapters
Well, you're okay. So like trying to pour from an empty cup is like trying to drive a car with no gas. You aren't going to get anywhere. No, you're not. You're just going to be pissed off on the side of the road. And it's probably, you know, if you're thinking summertime, you know, 80s to 90 degrees depending on where you're at. If you're in Arizona, well, 120, that fucking sucks. You know, it's— you're not, you're not getting anywhere. And that you can only try to push so hard and you're like, I'm trying, but I've got nothing left to give. Now you're irritable, you're short-tempered, and things that normally wouldn't bother you start to really get under your skin. And then you start acting out of character, and you are not acting yourself. Yeah. And sometimes when we're not acting ourselves and we're acting out of character, we're showing some ugly side of us.
