[Bit 1]

So recently, I went on a road trip from Salt Lake City,
Utah to San Antonio, Texas.
It's about a two-hour drive.
And I got pretty lonely, so I figured,
who can help me feel not so lonely?
I decided my ex.
So I sent her a text saying, hey, I'm on a road trip.
Feeling kind of lonely.
Could you maybe give me a call or something?
And about 20 minutes goes by, and I
get a little buzz on my phone while I'm driving.
And I look down and it's her.
I'm so excited.
And she sent me a phone number
and underneath the phone number it said,
this is the phone number for the Utah Suicide Hotline.
I have never been so humbled and yet so rejected
at the same time in my entire life.
So needless to say, I've never talked to her again.
I've actually yet to talk to a girl since then.
It kind of ruined my ego.
