“My Author did some reading once on what crimes got you respected in prison. Not because there was any chance she’d go, of course...” Her voice derailed into a chuckle before she began again. “She found that anyone who preyed on children was heavily disrespected, and in fact often attacked if they weren’t kept separate. Even criminals have their standards.”
Her finger tapped the rock she sat on idly, then automatically tapped five more times, but before she could make it a seventh she noticed what she was doing and stilled the finger. Wincing, she continued, “One of the crimes which was often respected was drug dealing, or being found in possession of drugs. I never understood that.” She blinked once, slowly. “Taking drugs makes you dependent on them. You itch for them constantly. You think about them. You want them, even knowing how they hinder you, knowing the bad effects...even hating them, you want them. You are dependent on them.”
Her hand clenched into a fist, hard, the offending finger crushed up into the movement like all the rest of them. “And I understand that, intimately...but I refuse to be dependent on this.”
~-~-~-~ In other words, this popped into my head and screamed at me. I keep telling myself I don’t have time to write a CBST character, but she’s in my head guuuuyyyyyys ahhhhh.

I wish status updates had editing. I’m amending “want them” to “need them to stay sane” both times I used it.

It’s fun to have someone you created living life on a page. Or...thread I guess. But you already know that, don’t you Ene?
But what’s even more fun? When they know you exist. When you don’t control them and they do what they want. When you can fight each other. It’s much more freeing. I bet you’d like that. 
BUT! If you know you don’t have the time. Please don’t join. Okay? It’s just that, and you know this too, things can become too much. You can’t easily hold on to something as out-of-control as CBST.
