Steve Bunting

I really love this guy.

He's my best friend and his mom.

He didn't have a dad either.

So Sandy kind of proxy raised me and would take care of me and get me food.

But going into my 10th grade year, he was going to the farm, and I was supposed to be with him, but it was raining, and I told him I wasn't gonna go, and a tree ended up falling on his truck and killing him.

So, yeah, and then I had to kind of go through that, man.

Holy fuck, Steve.

Yeah.

That's where things changed for me, man.

I think that's when whatever little heart, any sensitivities I had at that point, it was fully scarred over.

And I started building a wall around my heart that was not going to be penetrable for a long, long time.

Oh, so I remember like even from the beginning, like I wouldn't even cry.

There was no more tears.

I remember I stopped crying pretty early.

I remember I made a conscious choice to stop crying.

It's like, I'm not crying no more.

I remember this rock would just develop in my throat.

I couldn't even swallow.

And there's pain in my heart where I thought it was just going to break, like it was just going to explode.

And I just would start burying stuff really deep, man.
