Tavita: Lesson Learnt

It’s about setting an example for these monkeys too.  Like Grandpa said, I am the leader of the group.

Maybe love does funny things to you… I used to not care about what I was doing on the side with Mason and Moka.  As long as I got paid, and I gave money to my family.  Over the last few weeks something in me changed, I don’t know how to explain it.  I grew up? My eyes were opened? Sometimes I wish that every dodgy dollar I had earnt could just be given back, all the gear, Losa’s tutoring, dairy money for Billy, putting gas in the family car… I would go without all of that just to have my pride, my integrity back again.  Maybe I was glad that we finally got busted.  I’ve thought about the whole thing a lot… and realised it does matter how you earn that money…it’s not just about the end result, it’s how you get there.  That’s what counts.

It’s the same as Ex Factory.  What’s the point in winning if we fight along the way, or in Api’s case – STEAL to make it to the top.  I’d rather come in last place and still have my family in one piece.  Anyway.  I felt better once I got it all off my chest, and it now looks like we’ll be doing our community service at the church and Grandpas flat anyway se kio. Yes I know – we deserve it.
