PRIVATE DIARY: "History Repeating"

The asshole thing about the concept of proactive thought is that it’s easy to let yourself pretend the worst won’t happen. The constant awareness that bad things could happen all over again never leaves you, but it’s that awareness that also lets you lock yourself into a mindset of “Fuck you, bullshit, you won’t get me again!” Then you start to think “Ha, really showed that bullshit” or “I totally beat you, asswipe.” It’s like finally getting the best of an asshole bully who has harassed you and tormented you for years, and you finally nab their Achilles Heel and take them down kicking and screaming.

Only, in my case, it’s not a bully that harassed me, tormented me for years and nearly beat me. It’s cancer.

( And god-fucking-damnit, I never wanted to meet that horrible bitch ever again... )

"The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart." ~Nikolai Lenin

Mark had still been trying to wrap his head around the fact he was married when his surprise son landed on his doorstep. No one would argue that a drunk accidental wedding in Vegas was definitely something Mark Campbell could easily be guilty of considering his very promiscuous reputation and past record. The thing was, he was a recovering alcoholic, so he should never have really been drinking. He shouldn’t have necessarily had company on the Vegas business trip either. However, there had been an undeniable chemistry between him and Gen Hart from the moment they met. Mark did what he did best, and suavely flirted his way into her panties right there on the desk in her office. Yes, all very Mark Campbell.

( What wasn’t Mark Campbell was marriage... )
