14. Rule 1: Hope is a Sin.

 

It’s 2014.

May. The 19^th.

I’m 28. I’m still here.

My sisters moved back home so I’m sharing a room again. I don’t have a job, but then again I don’t want one. What I want is right in front of me. But it isn’t a matter of reaching for it; I have to move towards it. So that’s what I’m doing.

Slow and steady wins the race. Patience is a virtue, so on and so on…
