It's all I wanted, and I put so much pressure on myself.  Then there was a point in my life too, where [I was] all in right? So, either you go, and you do it, and you're miserable [or you disappoint]…The pressure made me miserable. [I did not want to] back out and let everybody else around me down or feel like a failure because I didn't follow through with what I said I was going to do” After numbing out and drugging out Mistie woke up in the hospital only to discover she had injured someone with her car who died.
