Remember when I told you I spent a lot of time on the road? I was alone, mostly, because getting close to others just meant you were setting yourself up to get robbed or hurt or worse. I did whatever I needed to, to survive, and I always assumed the worst about people. I told myself I had to, that that's just how the world was.

I still do that sometimes, you know. But...less, now.
