life is whatever you want it to be.
life is a reflection of your past.
life can be a journey, a destination, or a road to nowhere.
but above all, your life is all your own.

I should have known better than to try.  Now, my life is a ruin, a shell of what it once was and a pale shadow of what it could possibly have become.  I’ve lost everything in the pursuit of unattainable double happiness.  Breath deep and smell the futility 😉
