"Until you can ignore your circumstances, and just do as you promise," he says, "you'll always be controlled by the world." - Chuck Palahniuk

A good story should make you laugh, and a moment later break your heart.

You have a choice. Live or die.
Every breath is a choice.
Every minute is a choice.
Every time you don't throw yourself down the stairs, that's a choice. Every time you don't crash your car, you re-enlist.

The best way is not to fight it, just go. Don't be trying all the time to fix things. What you run from only stays with you longer. When you fight something, you only make it stronger.
