Imagine crossing a railroad track with an approaching train. You look both ways, judge the speed, and think you have plenty of time to cross the track. As you sit there second-guessing yourself, you decide to floor it and go for it!

Fuck it, let’s do this! You hit the gas and feel a slight sputter, but then it kicks in, and off you go! Let’s roll!!! Finally, my baby is back!

But wait, what the fuck?

The engine died as you just got on the track on the slight incline! You stop dead on the tracks as the crossing signs close around you as you frantically try and restart your car.

The train is quickly approaching, and it feels impossible to get off the track. You love this fucking car! You’ve had it for four god damn years, and the hell if you’re going to lose it.

Your heart rate increases, and you feel light-headed as you breathe uncontrollably. You are in a full fledged panic attack! You begin to second guess yourself, calling yourself every name in the book. “You did it again, you dumb fuck! Nice one! How many times are you going to keep fucking up!?”
