Most people think, "life sucks, and then you die." i disagree. i think life sucks. then you get cancer. then you go into chemotherapy. you lose all your hair, you feel bad about yourself. then all of the sudden the cancer goes into remission, and then all of the sudden you have a stroke. you can't move your right side. and then, maybe, you die.
