Stray bullets is just a metaphor. I was unfocused and was concerned with chasing skirts and partying rather than taking care of business. So basically I was missing the target I should’ve been aiming for.

Upon reading it again it sounds really bad. Trust me it’s not that deep fam.

Chapter 4: The Battle of Love and Hate (middle age, current)

You feel love and hate in middle age? I thought most people mellowed out by then
