Coward
I have one confession I’ve been meaning to express that has been tearing my mind into shreds and making me contemplate actually going through with my self-mutilatory fantasies, but, as I am a coward, I’m just going to sleep the alcohol off and forget the thought ever crossed my mind.

I came across this randomly the other day, then that same day someone linked it to me, then today, I noticed Jason Mraz had posted it on his blog.

Dan: No.
Jamie: I'm doing it anyway.
