Life is Long

"Some people say, 

'Life is short,' 

that you could get hit by a bus at any moment 

and that you have to live each day like it's your last. 

Bullshit!

Life is long. 

You're probably not gonna get hit by a bus

and you're gonna have to live with the choices you make

for the next fifty years."
