He was in the middle of 12 steps with the, you know, getting out of drugs, alcohol, 12 steps, which is a commemorable thing. Really, it is. And he's taking the steps. A part of the steps was to admit or to apologize to all people you offended in life. Okay. But...

Are you doing it for the 12 steps or are you doing it because you really, truly have come to terms with believing what you did was that hurtful to me and that it matters to you that it was that hurtful to me and that you were wrong in doing it? I know that's deep. I know that I'm a freaking idiot. You're a teddy. You should be better than that. He's better than you.

Yeah, maybe he is better than me. Maybe he is, really. Seriously, maybe he is. And I took it. He put his hand, I took it. We hugged. He said, I love you. Yeah, yeah. But I want to believe. But what did Cus tell me? No matter what a man says, it's what he does in the end that he intended to do all along. So to this day, today,

Was it really genuine or was it reflexive of that moment for him to get what he needed for that step? Or was it truly for what I needed? That he really cared that what he did to me caused me to do what I did? Because I did something that was pretty damn bad to him too. Is he able to... Deal with that and put that where it has to be put.

Yeah, he's emotional. I get emotional a little bit, too. But he's emotional, and he can be... I can see why people have a fascination and a love affair with him right now. Because he was... Because, you know, he was the meteor that went across the sky. If they didn't see it, their parents told them about it. There was a meteor that came across the sky one day.
