This pragmatically induced deference to the anti-ideal originally appeared to her as a mountain easily climbed. In the beauty of youth, the whole thing seemed a silly; “Much Ado Over Nothing.” However, perhaps in the aging process she had learned time and again to fully expect this sort of treatment before she took up the rigors of the abused pen. She needed to desperately try.

Previously, she thought that she was pre-destined to get into her beautiful head, and she bravely reached out. She was rewarded with cowards. After spending decades attempting to stay alive, she became a “reader,” long before the term was mass acquired and degenerated. Worse, she continued to envision a youthful scenario in which she was not in the least bit silly, but knows or thinks that she is viewed as such. It’s kind of a turn on for some; the ones she liked. Worst, she is, in her subjective notion of equality, another un-knowing or duplicitous purchaser of the inevitable package. The circular package says; “Comet, 20% off;” never mentioning off what until the indecipherable finest of prints.
