Falling out of lineI think one of my good friends got arrested last week. She would not reveal the details but I think it was for a petty crime since it was "a silly mistake".
I think she wanted me to bail her out.
I didn't.
I didn't trust enough to put pen to paper for something I didn't know anything about. Does that make me a bad friend? A selfish person?
At the same time, it reminded me of how lucky I am to have never been caught for shoplifting. Yes, I have shoplifted. Not once. Not twice. Many times. In my defence, it started with someone stealing from me. But this is a weak defence I know.
I do not regret it however. It gives me street cred. It gives me a story to tell.
