it hurts me just as much but mike needs to see it for what it is...
a meal made by a crazy person with zero life skills that cannot care for himself in any real capacity
n dakota might work for mike after he addresses his issues, and has made some contacts up there that can help him find employment and housing before he freezes to death
for right now it's another pipe dream that he can latch onto, while ignoring the real problem(s)
n dakota won't fix you mike, you can't run away from yourself
