The DU Lounge

As you get older you start noticing the complications and all those black and white ideas become a million shades of gray. People you trusted stab you in the back and people you thought were assholes turn out not to be. Your pets whom you loved unconditionally and who loved you unconditionally die, and that can hurt worse than anything.

“We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle; easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan.” (Irving Townsend)

Life's a bitch sometimes, and sometimes it's wonderful. I have no answers.
