It wasn't the fear of failure that sent me plunging into the pool of electric currents, it was act of failing. I go into everything with a **** it" attitude, with low expectations so I'm never disappointed, But when things start spiraling down my immediate thought is to abandon ship. If there's a chance I'm going to hit rock bottom, I want to get there on my own terms, before anything has a chance to drag me down. Failed a class? Might as well drop out Had some ice cream while on a diet? Might as well eat the whole tub About to get pushed onto thin ice? Might as well start jumping til it cracks If something is going to go, I need it to either go all wrong or all wrong
