Rock Paper Scissors

by Alice Feeney

All people are addicts, and all addicts desire the same thing: an escape from reality. My job just happens to be my favorite drug.

I doubt he felt the same way, but feelings don’t have to be mutual to be real.

I wish people were more like books. If you realize halfway through a novel that you aren’t enjoying it anymore, you can just stop and find something new to read. Same with films and TV dramas. There is no judgment, no guilt, nobody even needs to know unless you choose to tell them. But with people, you tend to have to see it through to the end, and sadly not everyone gets to live happily ever after.

why people only learn to live in the moment when the moment has passed.

Enjoy the stories of other people’s lives, but don’t forget to live your own.

Labradors are too friendly to be good guard dogs.
