You wanna know what it's like? I'll tell you what it's like. It's like walking down the stairs in the dark, only you're not scared because you know these stairs. You know exactly where to put your foot next, your steps are careful and precise, right on the mark until...you miss one. And it's that feeling in your stomach that comes from missing that step that you were so sure was there. Panic. Panic because you don't have any idea how far and how hard you are going to fall because you missed one step.

You know that panicy feeling in your stomach? I know what it's like to feel it in your heart. That panic is not something you forget and it's not something you can shake. It sits on your chest and it knots and it festers. Yes, festers. And it hurts.

So don't bother me. I'm busy festering.
