2 QUOTES WITH «JUMPY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word jumpy.
1
Sebastian Junger
The negative effects of combat were nightmares, and I'd get jumpy around certain noises and stuff, but you'd have that after a car accident or a bad divorce. Life's filled with trauma. You don't need to go to war to find it; it's going to find you. We all deal with it, and the effects go away after awhile. At least they did for me.
