The game is only fun for those who play it well. And sometimes I do. But as soon as I start getting ahead I begin to forget the first rule: it’s just a game. It will never be any more. Not ever. And believe me, I speak from experience. I have a saying, and for a few months I began to question its validity. But it proved itself true in the end. And that saying is this: a girl you meet at a bar will never be anything more than a girl you met at a bar. Not ever. And the day I fully embrace that, I will master the game. Or I will just quit playing altogether.
