Dec 2

I want to fix it all. I want to be the one who swoops in like the cavalry. I used to be the one who swooped in like the cavalry. Now, I cannot even crawl in and take a bullet for someone because I would be too slow. I can't fix anything anymore. My hands are always hurting. I have all but lost my instrument playing ability. I have not worked a job in eleven years now. I cannot work a job. What can I do?

Cry, I guess. But, I can seldom even do that anymore.

In other words, I can relate.
