I just... I see all these young folks online, all these fitness coaches, bouncy and full of beans every morning, and I think of that young man down the road, always posting those videos, smiling, you know? And I wonder if anyone else sees him sometimes, heading to the corner store after dark, buying those cheap noodle cups, and I just... I mean, it makes me think about my own life, back when I was his age, maybe I should've done something different, really pushed myself, not just stayed here in this little town. My wife, bless her heart, she always said I had potential. But you just get stuck, don't you? And now it’s too late, I guess. I mean, I don't even — whatever.
