You know how in plays, there is the understudy that watches the lead’s every move, studies their habits and mistakes, and waits for them to fuck up JUST SO he can take over, show that he can do better, show that he knows exactly WHAT NOT TO DO and how not to fuck up. yeah— there are people like that in real life. waiting for you to mess up. waiting for you to fuck things up just so they can pick up where you left off and do everything you couldn’t do. So before it happens— step it up or someone else will.
