He thought of the old commonplace about how giving up vices didn’t make you live longer, but just made it feel as though you were living longer. Nights like these made him feel as though he had been in pain all his life.
I know that feeling, for more than one reason.
I think some people just have bad luck, it follows them throughout life, no matter how many sticks you throw at it, it’s like a little puppy dog that won’t stop following you around, getting under your feet & licking your face while you try & stand back up again, as it’ll make you trip & fall, each & every time.
