Perfectly Accidental

Sometimes, you’ve got to let go of all you’ve held on to.

I feel like I’ve been given a place in life – expectations of me – that it’s useless fighting. So I don’t bother. I’m the guy they all think I am; fighting, smoking, drinking. Because what else is Roman Lombardi but a troubled teen?

No one’s convinced I’ve got anything going for me. I take what – and who – I want when I want it, and never think about anything more than a couple of hours in the future.

One holidays, I find myself hanging out with the resident Miss Popular, and she surprises me. With Piper, I can be whatever me I am. I can be the surly, troubled teen and…it’s enough. I’m enough. Feeling shit together makes things just a little less shit. Until it becomes more.

But, I don’t do more. Do I?

What do you do when you find perfection by accident, in the least likely of places?
Maybe you can’t believe you’re finally worth it.
