Don't You Forget About Me

“There are always those worse off than you. Your problems are not invalid as a result, or needing to be measured against an internationally recognized pain scale before we decide if your condition is severe enough to treat.”)

Here’s what life has taught me so far: don’t worry about that thing you’re worrying about. Chances are, it’ll be obliterated by something you didn’t anticipate that’s a million times worse.

there’s no shame in traveling the long way around to get where you want to go. It doesn’t matter if you take wrong turns. Arriving somewhere you want to be, in the end, is what counts.
