" Let your guts hang out. I don't even get that. Why would anyone want to live like that? Like it isn't bad enough I'm always one breath away from falling apart. I'm supposed to fall apart under a spotlight?
It's too much. And I don't want to embrace the suck. I want things not to suck. And I don't think that's too much to ask. "
