Then suddenly you're saying “No, I can't be normal.” “No, I can't do that.” “No, 'cause why bother?”Well known author Zachary Richey says as that his is your inner monster. The voice inside of you that has nothing better to do than second- guess your every move,  and this beast likes rewards; feed it money, food, alcohol, the end of the workday.
