    The older I get, the more I believe that life is really about enjoyment, not longevity. We are here to have fun and burn brightly, not live to be 120 years old and hate 50 years of it. Whats the point of busting loads against the wall for decades and doing nothing but surviving?

      Societies marketing of long life is creepy AF. I’m in my 30s and all I can see is the negative of how the world works. To entertainment myself and ignore the harshness of reality just makes me want to leave sooner. It feels so cowardly to have to live so helplessly in a world you know is wrong.
