I have it. I know it now. I got it from my mama. I got it from my mama. 

The lawyer sat with me yesterday and said, “Do you even know what you’re doing?” 

I said, “Yeah. Talking to you.” 

He says, “You are an American citizen, in another country, on a holiday visa, running a case in the Australian law court all by yourself. ALL BY YOURSELF! You are unrepresented. I don’t represent you. I just advise you. You have chosen to fight all the way. And you are. And it looks good. You need to put this on your CV. You need to tell your potential boss that if there is someone who knows how to stick it out when its tough, someone with character.. its you. Its you, my dear.” 

I almost made out with him for saying that shizz. 

Anyhow, regardless of the outcome now as papers are filed and pens are pulled out and dotted lines gear up to be signed…. I am fucking proud of myself.
