If I’m being completely honest, even I’m surprised. I should have been caught by now. I’ve lasted way longer than I ever imagined I would, especially now that I’m becoming…bolder. Perhaps “reckless” is a better descriptor. Chasing the high that follows the evasion, the sneaking out, the breaking curfew. The breaking everything—every established rule, every instated boundary (tangible or otherwise). I’ve gotten cocky and I’m not ashamed to admit that. If you were me, you’d be cocky, too.
