Life's just one big game of snakes and ladders, right?
You invest so much of yourself into pulling your weight up each rung,
only to trip up
and slide down a long, nasty, slithery python.
And it doesn't matter how many snake bites you get,
you have to keep rolling the dice in spite of it all.
Some people shoot up more ladders, and faster than you ever could.
Some people trip on meaner snakes and slip further than you ever might.
And some people can somehow manage to avoid both.
Yesterday was another of my snakey trip-ups.
But it's people like her that help me to climb back up the ladders.
Time to roll the dice again...
