For someone like me
being told you're getting
exactly what you've always wanted
is like being told that you have
24 hours to live.
Because nothing I've ever wanted
really, actually, down-deep wanted
has ever worked out.
The more important something was,
the more ****** up the eventual outcome.
This self-fulfilling prophecy has been
more reliable than any family
member, friend, or lover has ever been.
It's never let me down.
