Life. It's a nightmare. It's a trainwreck. It's uncomfortable, exhausting, and full of crying, cringing, laughing, snorting, sneering, squirming, puking, whatever - and that's okay. Because that's not the hard part. For Chris, Everett, and Jordan it's another terrible day in a life full of loss, poverty, crumbling mental health, self-destruction, and trying to survive when you just really fucking hate yourself.
