I hate it when I don't like the answer but have to accept it because it's the truth.
I think I figured it out. Maybe.
It's because I made the wrong decision. And then I made another wrong one. And then another. And then another. And then another.
I probably missed about three or five more in there. And they're all stupid. Except for a few, which were and/or are pivotal. And I can't tell anyone about them, because I have lost the trust of those around me - in some cases, for good reason - and because, knowing my friends, through no explicit fault of their own - I hope - I don't want this to be common knowledge.
Even though it already is, if anyone listened for it.
And I made the wrong decision tonight, and got the worse end of the stick for it, doubly.
FUCK
