When the going gets rough, sometimes you just need to sit back and take some time for yourself. Some time to think. Get things in order. Become focused again. Focused on what matters most in life. Don't let life beat you down. Don't continue down the same path. Find a different route to take. Break your routine. Take a break from the norm. Don't let Norm steal your chips again. You're thinking now. Thinking about your chips. Did Norm steal them again? Damn Norm. Why my chips? Can't he afford his own chips? Maybe he can't... What if he's not making ends meet? His life is probably falling apart. And all I can think of are my chips. I'll let him have the chips again. Should I offer more? No. That makes me seem like I pity him. He doesn't need that. What about his wife? His baby? Oh god The baby They don't deserve this No one does Not even Norm Nor his wife Never should have come to this But He seems to be holding it together Quite well actually A little too well... Is he really struggling? I'm willing to bet he's not. How could I have been so naive. Thinking that stealing chips is a sign of struggle . Norm is just a thieving bastard. A chip stealing piece of shit. Goddamnnit. My chips are gone. Again. Stop it. I need to get to focused again. Focused on what really matters. The matter at hand: Handling the stress of rough patches in life. These trying times. They'll be over before you know it. Just have keep it up. Cause before you know it.
