Life is pretty weird. Admit it. It just is.

We’ve got what? Maybe 75 or 80 years if we’re lucky? Everybody has an end date. The only thing we all have in common is that we’re all gonna die. It’s probably the only thing you could post on social media that somebody won’t dive into your comment section and take issue with.

So it’s just strange that we spend so much of our time being cruel to each other. It’s not like being a dick to somebody else is gonna buy us any extra time. We should be running around naked and free and dancing and drinking good beer instead of the cheap shit, and if somebody falls we should help them up, and if somebody is hungry we should fire up the grill and cook them some burgers. We should follow our dreams and allow other people to follow theirs, with the caveat that if my dream requires me to shit on your dream, then my dream sucks and I should get a new one.
