END OF SHOPLIFTING.

Decided to stop shoplifting.

I was getting a Lancom Juicy Tube from David Jones, so I put it in my pocket and looked around at other stuff for a bit and then as I walked out the alarm thingo went off. I stopped for a second to look like I was trying to see who set it off aha, and then I kept walking. Me and my friend sat down later to realise that under the barcode there was a metalic sticker – obviously a beeper device thing.

Damn that was close.

Last night some of my friends came over and we went down the road to the shops, which were closed ’cause it was late. There was this open cafe, so we went in there to see if we could get a drink. There were bottles and bottles of cocktails. It was weird they’d leave it out like that after closing time. They had a locked storeroom, but these sealed bottles were just sitting there. So anyway we went behind the counter and took some and hopped in the lift and went down, and when the lift door opened a security guard was standing in front of us! He asked us if we had been in the cafe and we said No, and closed the lift doors. Surprisingly he didn’t try to stop the doors from closing. We had the bottles in a clear plastic bag in our hands. All he had to do was look at the bags and he would have noticed we’d stolen them from the cafe.

It was damn fun. But once again too close. I’m stupid. I probably would have run off or kicked that cop if he’d tried to stop us.

I don’t need to steal sh*t. It’s a waste of time, and it doesn’t make me feel good like it used to. Plus if I keep doing it I’m gonna get caught soon. When you go out every weekend and come home with hundreds of dollars worth of shoplifted sh*t, oneday you’re not gonna be so lucky. Had to stop before it came to that.

Everything has to come to an end.

A lot of you might be thinking right now how stupid I was to shoplift, as can be seen in my first entry about shoplifting (‘FIRST SHOPLIFT‘). But I’m a teenager, and this is the time in everyone’s life where they explore the world outside of what they did when they were 5 – try to get their own perspective of things through their own eyes rather than those of an adult. I concider this a milestone in my out of school education – Thou shalt not steal; Stealing does not maketh thou feel good.

It’s nice to think that as I grow up I can feel myself making descisions based on what is best for my future. Maybe it means I’m getting smarter . Yeah that’ll be me one day. It’s the most interesting thing to be able to feel.
