Transcript
I would never hold a grudge. I good, and actively do. I wish I was one of those people who wasn't bothered by anything, but unfortunately, I have the heart of a hater. I wake up and I need to say at least one spiteful thing a day or it throws my whole equilibrium off, like a fish out of water. I get the shakes and a fever. It's not a good look. They've been telling me that the high road is prettier and the low road is pettier, but I've never been one for taking the scenic route. Come on.
