Chapter 45
CASSANDRA BATES
STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES.
You know I never thought about that expression at all but isn’t that how we humans were programmed? To live life by the book.
Education being the most important, a good job, a solid career, marriage, kids then death. Everyone had that dream and maybe I did too.
Maybe I spent most of my time in high school nose deep in a book, googling the most profitable careers and all that paid off when I shipped off to college, worked my butt off for a job that now that I stopped to think about—I didn’t really give a shit about.
Point was, everything happening to me maybe it was God trying to seep a little bit of coke in my life, a little bit of changes instead of the same old same old shitty lives people lived.
And thus, here I was stopping to smell the roses.
No job, frankly maybe I didn’t even have an apartment to go back to either.
