I'm the guy from clerks when he's like, 'You know, I hate people, but I like gatherings.' I don't want to be on the top or the bottom. I just want to be right in the middle. I want to be able to look up and see things that I can work towards but I also want to keep sight of the bottom where I don't want to go back to, you know what I mean. And I always had that distortion of thinking and I think when I got sober this last time I started to understand things that were always told to me but I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
