The Honest Heiress

There are two kinds of people in this world.

Those who follow the rules, and those who make them.

People who follow the rules believe standards offer a fair starting line: get the required score and you’ll be admitted, meet the weight requirement and you’ll be allowed to compete, put in enough years and you’ll get promoted, save enough for a down payment and you’ll have a home.

But to those who make the rules, standards are playthings. They draw a line on a whim, and it becomes a finish line no one else can ever reach.

“If you can be controlled by a mask, then you’re nothing but a puppet yourself.”
