Monkey Girl has many defects.

She could hardly be more imperfect.

Her feet are smelly. She has made herself lazy. She is not what she should be for her family. She is not good at choosing guys. And she has fought a long and for the most part losing struggle against drugs.

On the other hand, she is faithful and in spite of it all, she is strong like I've rarely seen.

Right now she is fighting for her life (over a preexisting, longer term condition).

All I want is that she makes it, and I can kiss her hair again.
