THE BLOOD TRAVELS
14) She was smart like a man. Not that a man's smarter than a woman and this
particular woman aspired to exceed her gender boundaries. Rather, her way of
thinking was typical of a man. Who can say thinking is typical? What should be
said is she was ballsy and forthright in a way that typically is seen in a
man. That's an accident waiting to happen because most men don't like their
women in the forefront. Maybe in thoughts but definitely not deeds. Most men
feared her but many admired her, other women just stayed away. She never knew
her mom and her dad was not a drunk. He was worse much worse. He was a man of high unyielding faith and learned moral convictions. Practiced in the
preaching rather than the practicing. He made her strong, he made her silent
in spite of himself and what he thought he was doing. Sometimes the absolute
worst role models and authority figures are the absolute best. The lead by bad
example ensuring the follower will never do the same wrong usually by pure
disdain. They instill qualities of truth and honesty by the blinding example
of their false lies. Basically you would rather die than be like them. She
turned eighteen and never looked back. As long as she is alive as long as she
thinks she is moving forward like a comet shooting across the sky you can help
but watch her go. She might be beautiful that depends on who's looking. The
men who loathed her loathed themselves. Had she have been a man they would
have admired her. But she wasn't.
