Tana French reminds us in her novel, The Likeness,
that we can have anything we want as long as we
accept that there is a price and it will have to be
paid. I can't help but wonder if there's a snowball's
chance in hell I can actually learn that lesson BEFORE
my birthday next week. I imagine it's not bloody likely
but I would like to think it's possible. I love life!
I enjoy people! I revel in all things forbidden and
I have to learn my lessons over and over. But, does
it count as learning if overindulgence happens again
and again and you have to pay the price each time?
I believe I can actually count on one hand the times
I've been able to say, "Oh my God, I got away with
it this time!" And, it's not that I need to join the forces
of the straight and narrow, it's just that I would like
to take myself in hand and learn to behave . . . although
I can't help but wonder if that wouldn't take all the fun
out of like?! Nan, me thinks I'll take my chances!
you better watch out
you better be good not bad
