Emily is a balancing act. Be nice, but not too nice. Help out, but remember your limits. Give away what you have for the sake of others, but not until you are only a fraction of what you once were.
With all that pressure to remain in the middle of the spectrum, it's hard to keep the ball in your hands. Sometimes you can't help but fumble.
