“Cos las las we ain’t shit. We’re just here to be the most that we can be while the universe allows it.

“Everybody’s priority is different now. Your goals are diff now. The point to life has shifted now. Fascinating!

“When we get on the other side of this thing, I wonder if we will have learnt anything. Cos people forget”.@SimplySimi
