i'm an asshole sometimes. i'd like to think i'm not one most of the time, but i'm also probably worse at recognizing my asshole moments than i think i am. i definitely believe i'm in the right more often than i actually am. i justify my shitty behavior with impressive mental gymnastics. i forget to text people back. i'm impatient. i can be cold. i've said things i shouldn't have. and i'm betting you can say the same thing about yourself, if you're being honest. we're all just out here doing our best while occasionally being our worst. the trick is knowing the difference matters -- and caring enough to recognize when you're being the latter. at least, that's what the good version of me [would say](https://static.mighil.com/images/2025/1762263043746_bruce-almighty-comedy.gif).
