PART DEUX (2)

Self Preservation is essential the American way. We can only gain true independence once we realize the only true "bail out" we have is ourself!
I've been the luckiest girl on earth,confession my past indiscretions to some select friends & my aunt who is more like a mother & best friend rolled into one pretty, neat package.

Still, she could not satisfy my deep seated need for affection & for a man who would nurture & protect me unlike my actual father. That coupled with my desire to have beautiful "things" made me an easy target for wealthy men who were equally needy. They had all the spoils but no princess in their castle.

They were not looking for permanence mind you. All they wanted was the false sense of intimacy & control men in "power" live for - its their drug amongst other things. Most of them are super strategic intellects: its nearly impossible to get inside their heads. The only "head" somebody like me could possibly get close to was the little one. This is of course a literal statement.

Im not one to name names, thats part of my own ethical code. I prefer to just write about situations. besides if I called anyone out, nobody would believe me. Im just Crystal H. a 20 something young woman from Queens-)

As fate would have it. The timing could not be more perfect for trouble to brew.
