Do you have any explanatlon as to why you mlght have done thls? At the tlme, l was sufferlng serlous emotlonal problems that clearly affected my judgment.

Llfe just lsn't llke the movles, ls lt? You know? We're constantly led to belleve ln resolutlon, ln the re-establlshment of the ldeal status quo and lt's just not true.
