I've been playing the game of life for over 21 years. It hasn't gotten any harder. It depends on how old you are, and where you've grown up on what type of path you go on. You can either go on the path of riches, where you go to college, you get a job as a lawyer, then have a large successful family.
Or you can be like the other half, you can grow up in the slums with nothing. Then become nothing. Now I should mention, some people have an exception. Some people are on a rich path then lose everything, and some people are in the slums and then become world-renown surgeons.
It all depends on what you want to do with life.
My mother once told me the story of the two sons. The story goes that there was once a family, one drunken alcoholic father, who was abusive. He had two twin sons. One son became an alcoholic just like his father, while the other became very successful.
People sometimes like to blame their upbringing on their failures in life. I like to think that is bullshit. You can do whatever you want, even if you have nothing. It all matters if you are a hard worker or not.
But once again there are exceptions, some people who are in the slums, even if they work so hard, they don't make it. It just happens.
Life sucks. Life is filled with pain and regret. Some lucky people are lucky enough that they can succeed. But you have to remember, that not everything is all rainbows. Even some of the richest and most successful CEO's have a shitty life.
They may look tough or they may look happy with their lives. But so much happens behind closed doors. Lies and betrayal happen behind the walls of those large mansions.
Like I said earlier, some people are in the middle of the rich and the poor. That's where I am. But I am in the worst part.
My name is Beverly Santino. I am the daughter of the largest Mafia leader in Italy. now, as I said earlier, things happen behind closed doors. I am rich, but nothing is as good as it seems. I go to school for the rich, I have a beautiful car, I have a rich and successful family and boyfriend. I look like I hit the jackpot on life.
But if you truly think that, then you are dead wrong. I mentioned that lies and betrayal happen behind closed doors. Now replace the words lies and betrayal with murder, and drugs.
Now the words lie and betrayal sounds like rainbows next to those words. My life isn't easy. This whole bullshit princess act that I carry around with me at the campus is not who I am at all.
Behind closed doors I am a murder, I am a trained assassin. My whole life I have been getting ready for my take over. But I will get into that later.
Right now, I have to sit through another 2 hours of class. It sucks so bad. I am in my mat class that is crazy hard. I hate the teacher too, they truly suck donkey balls.
All they do is fucking lecture all damn day and it just makes me want to blow my damn brains out. "Hey, Bev. How was your weekend?" Meredith asked me.
"Shitty. My father made me spend 5 hours shotting at the same damn target in the middle of the night. He's such a fucking asshole sometimes. Like shit, I'm only 21, I don't want to stay up to 3 in the morning shooting a damn gun that I already know how to shoot."
Little side note, Meredith and I have been besties since grade school. She was the new girl and she was getting picked on, so I stood up for her and we've been like sisters ever since. She also knows everything about the mafia so it's easy to talk to her.
"I'm sorry Bev, I hate that he is so hard on you. I wish that he could understand that you understand all of this stuff." Meredith said looking at me. Her eyes softened and she gave me a small smile. "Don't worry, it will get easier, we just have to take it one day at a time." She told me.
