The silver lining of success often tarnishes before it can be enjoyed. For me, being rich and famous was both wonderful and awful. Wonderful because money and notoriety are necessary and useful in a world where almost everything can be purchased with them. Awful because that same wealth and fame caused me to forget that I can never truly own anything in this world. Like everyone else, I am here for only a short time and then, no matter how rich and important I have become, I will be gone. It's ironic that I, who have died and returned to life, should forget that. But forget it I did when I came face to face with my enemy.
Myself.
Shari Cooper. Jean Rodrigues. I have two names.
But perhaps I am being too hard on myself. After all, I was once a ghost who only prayed to be remembered. To have one more chance at life. And then, when that chance was miraculously granted, was it any wonder I should run wild for a time? Yes, I can forgive myself, and hope those close to me can do the same. Because time is short.
Especially for me.
