You take the fucking chance. You take responsibility. Your flaws are your flaws. Addressing them means that you’re okay with them. I got caught cheating. I cowboyed the fuck up. I did. I’m wrong. I apologized. I gotta do better. That’s what cowboying up is the fuck about. Lying in a bed of mess you made for yourself and being okay with that because you know that you are capable of change and capable of doing better.
