Life is short,
though I keep this from my children.
Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine—
in a THOUSAND delicious, ill-advised ways, a THOUSAND deliciously ill-advised ways
I’ll keep from my children.
The world is at least FIFTY PERCENT TERRIBLE and that’s a conservative estimate,
though I keep this from my children.
For every bird there is a stone THROWN AT A BIRD. For every loved child, a child BROKEN, BAGGED, SUNK IN A LAKE. Life is short and the world is at least HALF TERRIBLE, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would BREAK YOU, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real SHITHOLE, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right?
You could make this place beautiful.
