WAIT FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO DROP - But people…they are who they are. No matter how hard you try…you are what you are. You will kill again. - I won’t. I swear. Trust me. I’m an expert.

We’re so afraid that if we let ourselves feel joy, something will come along and rip it away from us and we will get sucker punched by pain and trauma and loss.

RUS: сидеть как на иголках в ожидании.
